More twists and turns than the road to Loch Dubh
Where does Death of a Policeman rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
An excellent read, with officious policemen, criminals hiding in the shadows and twists and turns in the plot to keep even the most avid fan guessing to the end.....And who will be the love of his life????? The plot continues.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Death of a Policeman?
The final twist of the plot. The ultimate murderer unmasked...
Have you listened to any of David Monteath’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Excellent as with all of his performances.
Any additional comments?
A fantastic plot that kept me guessing all the way through.
But will there be a book to decide Macbeths ultimate romantic entanglement?????

I didn't enjoy this one
I usually really enjoy hamish Macbeth but this one was too brutal and sordid. I listen to it at night and this kept me awake with horrible details
