About this listen

DI Alec McKay is back.

Twenty years ago, Jackie Galloway was a senior cop with a bad reputation. Then he ended up on the wrong side of the wrong people, and his career was ruined. Sacked and with no pension, he ends up eking out his last days on Scotland's Black Isle, his mind lost to dementia, supported only by his wife, Bridie...until Galloway is found dead. The police assume the death to be accidental until Bridie reveals that her husband has been receiving threatening letters containing only the phrase 'not forgotten. Not forgiven.'

DI Alec McKay is struggling to come to terms with life without his estranged wife, Chrissie, and is living in isolation on the Black Isle. As a junior officer, McKay had been allocated to Galloway's team and has bad memories of the man and his methods. Now he finds himself investigating Galloway's death. But when suspicion falls on him and more police officers are murdered, the pressure is on for McKay to solve the case. Why would the killer seek revenge 20 years after Galloway left the force?

The gripping follow-up to Candles and Roses can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Took me quite a while to get into this story and get use to the accent, but it was worth it, really enjoyed the storyline with its twists and turns. Will follow this author

I thought I knew ’who done it’ about half way through but some interesting twists and turns proved me wrong!
The narrator was excellent (but I listened at x1.2 speed) and this book, number 2 in the series, had none of major issues with editing that the first book had.
A good listen

Lots of twists and turns

Shame the narrator didn’t pronounce Avoch correctly… So many audiobooks are ruined for me when place names etc are mispronounced… it’s pronounced “och” - no a, no v…

Narrator needs to do their research
