Summary
The wages of sin is death.
The partial collapse of a disused Edinburgh church reveals a dead body in the rubble, his head badly smashed by falling masonry. Soon identified as an old ex-con - Kenny Morgan - his death is put down to a heart attack and deemed non-suspicious.
Tony McLean is approached by a notorious crime lord who suggests the police should be looking into Morgan's death more closely. Despite struggling with his recent retirement, he is reluctant to involve himself.
But when a second man is found dead in another disused church, his forehead branded with a cross, this time it is clearly murder.
There's a killer stalking the streets of Edinburgh. Is it time for McLean to get back to doing what he does best?

Perfectly balanced, thrilling and smooth listening
DI McLain never disappoints you. No need for exaggerated fighting scenes to make the story thrilling. And always this shuttle touch of the supernatural.

Acting Detective Inspector Janey Harris gets the baddie(with a wee bit of help from DI McLean).
I always know I'm reading a good book when I order another latte in the cafe so I can stay longer to delve into the story and this was very true of 'For Our Sins'. I quickly became embroiled in the alterboys story and that of the criminal 'big man' looking for help. It was good to become reacquainted with all the usual characters plus a couple of new arrivals in Tony and Janey's lives. I stayed up too late tonight to finish this latest novel from Mr Oswald, all I can say is thanks for such entertaining books and roll on your next book.
Ian Hanmore's mellifluous reading of characters was as usual excellent.

Another solid story in an excellent series
I have devoured this series in a little over a year and thoroughly enjoyed every one.
Solid detective stories, colourful characters and the vivid Edinburgh locations create perfect mix. The slight undercurrent of the supernatural adds a satisfying bit of spice which sets them apart from other similar series.
This latest book is no exception. It was like slipping into a familiar and comfortable world. The shift in focus to the main character’s young female protege over the last couple of books has been a refreshing change and offers an opportunity to flesh out more of the female characters. DI McLean is never far away though and I look forward to more adventures from him in future and they can’t come soon enough.
Ian Hanmore’s narration is top notch with the numerous characters being brought to life very vividly.

Welcome return
I wondered how we were going back into the world of Tony McClean after the ending of the previous book. Why did I worry?
Beautifully written as always and lots of our favourite characters.
Ian Hanmore is as skilled as ever in his depiction of the cast and all in all a great return

Excellent as always.
I adore these books, they are my favourite series. I have become attached to the main characters and love their individual stories. I just hate having to wait for the next book to come out. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Excellent, as usual. I haven't been disappointed with any of the McLean books. I love the hint of the supernatural.
The narration is spot on.

Brilliant
I have been eagerly awaiting this book for a long time and it was certainly worth waiting for. The story caught my interest very quickly and the excellent narration by Ian Hanmore kept my interest and made it easy to follow the twists and turns of the plot.
As always there was an extra dimension to the plot which can not be easily explained, a hint of the supernatural, but only a hint, The point wasn’t laboured, leaving the reader free to draw his or her own conclusions.
The book dealt with some very difficult subjects, child abuse, human trafficking and exploitation as well as bullying and sexual harassment in the workplace. All were dealt with appropriately yet despite the weighty subject matter the plot flowed easily and the book was engaging and enjoyable.
I have missed Tony McLean and it was great to catch up with him again in For Our Sins. I hope it will not be too long before the next book and please can we have another book in the Constance Fairchild series as well.
