About this listen

'All the makings of a classic series.' - Mick Herron

----------

St Andrews, Scotland: When a woman's eviscerated body is found on the golf course close to the Fairmont Hotel, DCI Andy Gilchrist and his associate DS Jessie Janes are assigned the investigation. But the post-mortem examination uncovers a shocking detail that must be kept from the public...

Who could carry out such a brutal murder? And what is the significance of the gruesome trophy?

When DNA uncovers links to a murder committed thirty years earlier, Gilchrist fears a killer of old has resurfaced, or worse, a debut serial killer setting out to learn his murderous trade. The hunt for the killer forces Gilchrist down a dangerous path that puts his and Jessie's lives in danger, and ultimately leads them to a mind-playing madman who would rather kill again than go to prison.

As Gilchrist homes in on the murderer, he finds himself relentlessly drawn into the killer's mind games and a desperate fight for his life, in which there can only be one winner.

Has Gilchrist finally met his match?

Jess too aggressive and became main character. Not many likeable traits. The Main character disliked due to poor care of dying wife, leaving her all day long, pretty useless at personal relationships but even that sinks low. Adult children not that relevant.

Continuation of characters lives

A complicated plot with a few gruesome details but it rattled along with a great storyline and decent sprinkling of humour. Very well read too.

Excellent

Wow - is Frank preparing us for Gilchrist’s retirement ?
I was shocked at the ferocity of the end towards our favourite characters .
Another excellent twisting and turning tale.
Next one on the way …. I hope so.

Very honest showing the flaws of characters

This author never disappoints .The characters are all believable. Can't wait for the next book. And of course the narration excellent as usual

Gripping

Far too much repetition in this book. How many times do we need to know that Andy's partner is 'just so tired all the time'. Or that Dainty is a short man. Or keep recapping on the victims injuries. And Andy seems to meet numerous people who cough up and spit phlegm. And repeated reflections on bringing up his children. And don't get me started on how often people 'chuckle'. As for Jess, I've never liked her but she seems to be equal to the main character now and is so unnecessarily abrasive, unlikeable and does such stupid things which could cause a case to fall to pieces that she's not even a realistic character now. I probably won't bother with future books unless there are a lot of changes, one of which is Jess being written out.

Too repetitive and Jess is ruining the series
