About this listen

As women disappear from the city streets, a blood-curdling discovery is made in a Glasgow cemetery. Easy Kill is the fifth novel in Lin Anderson's forensic crime series featuring Rhona MacLeod.

'One of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction' – Daily Mail


A vulnerable young woman has been brutally slain and left on a grave in Glasgow’s sprawling cemetery, the Necropolis. Upon examining the body, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod has no doubt that the depraved killer’s motives were sexual in nature.

The case takes on an even more disturbing dimension when the removal of the girl’s body reveals a second victim, who has recently been buried in a shallow grave underneath. When yet another sex worker is reported missing, there are fears that a serial killer is at large in the city.

This man has killed before – and will again unless Rhona can break the chain and track him down before any more lives are lost . . .

'Vivid and atmospheric, with an enthralling chase' – The Guardian

Critic reviews

Forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod has become one of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction — honourable, inquisitive and yet plagued by doubts and, sometimes, fears
The best Scottish crime series since Rebus
A cast of characters who feel like old friends (The Sunday Times on None But the Dead)
Lin Anderson is one of Scotland’s national treasures – don’t be fooled by comparisons, her writing is unique, bringing warmth and depth to even the seediest parts of Glasgow. Lin’s Rhona MacLeod is a complex and compelling heroine who just gets better with every outing (Stuart MacBride, author of the Logan McRae series)
Hugely imaginative and exciting (James Grieve (Emeritus Professor of Forensic Pathology))
A real page-turner (Ian Rankin, author of the Inspector Rebus series, on The Party House)
Vivid and atmospheric . . . enthralling (The Guardian on The Killing Tide)

What a great tale: compelling, swift moving and clearly drawn characters. Gruesome and nasty in some places, yet lovely and lyrical in others. Shifting between well-coloured settings and continuing the characters and interactions from previous books while adding new ones to the mix.

And a great voice actor narrating. Each character has their own voice, consistently and convincingly.

I've bought the next three titles. You'll enjoy if you like Steve McBride or J D Kirk.

Gripping & tautly plotted with beautiful narration

I cannot recommend Lin Anderson's novels highly enough, I have read nearly all of them (not got the latest yet but it's on my list) and listened to them, some more than once. In my opinion Ms Anderson has never produced anything but exceptional work, her plots are always gripping, her characters and their back stories are fully formed. Dr Rhona Macleod and the rest of the team are charismatic but realistic in that they have imperfections. Finally a word for the exceptional voice talents of Sally Armstrong who brings Rhona and Co to life in all 16 books, she is in my humble opinion one of the top narrators available and is brilliant at male and female voices.

Another BRILLIANT novel from Lin Anderson
