About this listen

A callous crime. A killer’s rampage. A storm of death on the horizon.

Edinburgh, the dead of winter. DCI Harry McNeil knows the subzero temperatures can trigger the cruelest of crimes. But when he’s called out in the middle of a blizzard, he’s horrified at the sight of a frozen female corpse found hidden inside a snowman. And when none of the evidence adds up, McNeil’s investigation is skating on thin ice....

On the brink of connecting a serial killer to a two year old cold case, he’s caught under a cloud of alleged misconduct. And with the heat turned up in every direction, the embattled cop must both clear his name and wade through a snowstorm of suspects to put a lethal opponent behind bars.

I love Angus King and Scottish Noir so this was always likely to delight me. And I enjoyed the story and the characters. My slight issue is that it's been edited for audio quite poorly so there are multiple odd glitches in the plot that leave you wondering "how did they find that out" etc. It's not a deal breaker and I'd definitely buy another Harry McNeil novel but it's nonetheless irksome.

Engaging but poorly abridged
