About this listen

Playing a mystery game seems the perfect way to celebrate Jamie Kydd’s promotion to detective sergeant rank. But the game turns real when a body turns up in the pretend crime scene. Perhaps worse than spoiling the party, the corpse is someone Jamie knows.

Even though the police take on the case, Jamie asks his friend, former police detective Michael McLaren, to also investigate—concerned that the victim’s criminal past may dampen the Constabulary’s usual fervor to nab his killer. It seems to have been a smart decision, for the police aren’t expending a lot of energy on the inquiry.

Suspects float around McLaren…half truthful, hard to find. More like wraiths than flesh and blood. If the victim’s burglary partner, ex-wife, or childhood friend didn’t kill Dan, who did? It’s a desperate game between McLaren and a killer who’s playing hide and seek.

Another excellent listen in this very good series. After a murder game that ended up with a real corpse this is an intriguing plot with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. I was unsure about this series after listening to a later book but now I can't get enough. Callum Hales narration is excellent and brings everyone to life. Highly recommended.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and leave this honest review.

Hide and Seek
By Jo A. Hiestand
Narrated by Callum Hale

I received a complimentary copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Hide and Seek by Jo A. Hiestand, brought to life by Callum Hale’s stellar narration, is a masterful addition to The McLaren Mysteries series. What starts as an innocent evening of mystery gaming among friends quickly takes a chilling turn when an actual murder disrupts the fictional intrigue. Suddenly, a harmless “whodunnit” game turns into a very real and dangerous investigation.

When the local police seem unhurried in their response, Jamie Kydd turns to his friend Michael McLaren, a former detective, to uncover the truth. McLaren dives headfirst into the case, uncovering a web of secrets and lies that lead to a deadly game of cat and mouse. The twists are as sharp as McLaren’s wit, keeping listeners guessing until the very end.

Jo A. Hiestand’s storytelling is gripping and layered with suspense, and Callum Hale’s narration elevates the experience. His voice captures every character’s essence, from McLaren’s sharp intellect to the growing tension of the investigation. Hale’s pacing and tone pull you deeper into the world of intrigue, making it impossible to press pause.

Whether you’re a long-time fan of the series or a newcomer, Hide and Seek offers everything you’d want in a thrilling mystery. With a clever plot, complex characters, and a setting that feels rich and atmospheric, it’s a must-listen for mystery lovers.
Perfect for fans of intricate whodunits and expertly narrated audiobooks.
Highly recommended!
5 out of 5 stars.
