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.

The more I listen to Jo Hiestands books about Mike McLaren, the more I cannot decide whom I like more.

The author cleverly weaves her stories with relatable and likeable characters, Mike is a mam with a strong morale compass that drives him to solve murders and give answers to the loved ones left behind, and then Calum Hale depicts Mike in the absolute best way, strong personality with empathy and drive that comes across well in his narration.

To celebrate Mike's friend Jamie's promotion, Paula, Jamie's wife arranges a party with a murder mystery plot to solve, but Mike's relaxed party evening is soon halted when a real victim is found alongside the manikins

Clever writing

This is fast becoming one of my favourite listens as both well written and narrated. I am listening to these out of order but it doesn't really matter that much and I can pick it up easily. The different strands work well and come to a great conclusion.

I did struggle with one of the voices a little as it sounded strange but in the scheme of things not a big deal.

Great series well narrated
