Famous, beautiful, and talented, Heike Gunn has the world at her feet. Then one day she simply vanishes. Jack Parlabane has lost everything. A call from an old friend offers a chance for redemption--but only if he can find out what happened to Heike.

From Berlin to Barcelona, from the streets of Milan to remote Scottish islands, Parlabane must find out what happened before it's too late, all while the walls are closing in...

What did you like best about this story?

The underdogs taking on an organisation so much bigger than them and winning.

Which character – as performed by Angus King and Kate Bracken – was your favourite?

Angus King captured Jack Parlabane as a gritty Scot with a heart. He was also very good at capturing the different accents of the different characters and they were clearly distinct from each other and in particular he captured the female characters well.

Jack Parlabane returns to form

Would you try another book written by Chris Brookmyre or narrated by Angus King and Kate Bracken ?

Unlikely. The narrative was not engaging despite the good story.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The narrative needs more forward motion. It feels too slow and always waiting for something to happen.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Make the character a little less whiny.

Do you think Dead Girl Walking needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

The story has been played out and the secret revealed.

Good basic story but narrative not engaging
