 A BURNT-OUT CAR | A VANISHED BODY | CORRUPTION IN THE RANKS

'Best Scottish crime writer' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ READER REVIEW

'The further into this series I delve, the more I love it' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ READER REVIEW

'I've enjoyed all of Oswald's books and this is up there with the best of them' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ READER REVIEW

When a member of the Police Scotland team fails to clock-in for work, concern for her whereabouts is immediate . . . and the discovery of her burnt-out car in remote woodland to the south of Edinburgh sets off a desperate search for the missing woman.

Meanwhile, DCI Tony McLean and the team are preparing for a major anti-corruption operation - one which may raise the ire of more than a few powerful people in the city. Is Anya Renfrew's disappearance a co-incidence or related to the case?

McLean's investigations suggest that perhaps that Anya isn't the first woman to have mysteriously vanished in these ancient hills. Once again, McLean can't shake the feeling that there is a far greater evil at work here . . .

I have to say this is one of my favourites in the Tony McLean series along with Book of Souls and Cold as the Grave (although I do love them all). I listened to this in 2 days, even though I really wanted to make it last I just couldn't turn it off!

This one has almost everything you could wish for in a Tony McLean story - cannibalism, dogging(!), Mrs M's Cat, an underlying current of supernatural weirdness and Ian Hanmore's brilliant narration - the only thing missing is Madam Rose!

My only grumble (apart from the lack of Madam Rose) is that I'll have to wait at least another year for the next installment! I think I'll go back to the beginning and listen to them all again in the meantime...

One of my favourites!

If you are new to the McLean series you are in for a treat. Start at no.1 and enjoy. All are a delight. I envy you your journey! However I am soon to binge listen the whole lot again so not too envious. Seriously buy this book and all the others as excellent in every way.

Outstanding series
