About this listen

Teenager Alison Doig disappeared from Kinloch more than 30 years ago under mysterious circumstances. Her reclusive family still lives in a remote part of the Kintyre peninsula, amidst rumours of wrecking, smuggling and barbaric cruelty.

Now rich American hotelier Alice Wenger has arrived in town, determined to punish those who made her suffer in the past. But someone has vowed to keep hidden sins concealed forever.

Daley’s team must race against time to expose long-held secrets and shameful lies before there are any more victims.

I have been hooked on this series from the word go! This needs to be a Netflix tv show! The ongoing story (now number 8) I’ve been here for all the highs and lows and regardless I love love love what Denzil does every time. I don’t know where to begin... don’t want to ruin it for you but if you have not already! Get the first one and start....

What a fantastic book, series, everything!!!

Another hit...

Very dark, but also at times very humorous. Didn’t disappoint yet again. Great narration also.

Yet another great story in the series

I thoroughly enjoyed it and well known characters that I’ve come to know. The story had a good twist and it was brilliantly narrated as always. Would recommend it to anybody who likes a good murder mystery, with a few laughs from Brian Scott.

Another brilliant book

Full of twists and turns throughout the storyline but what makes fifth star are the incredible characters, all of which I long to meet.

Thrilling

Denzil Meyrick hasn't rested on a formula here. These characters evolve and new situations arise, as in life. Another great book and another fantastic narration. Definitely buy this if you're just searching for a truly great read / listen. However, I would recommend starting at Book 1 for the best experience in character and story development (though any of these books can be read / listened to as one offs). I find it very difficult to go backwards in any series. David Monteath is truly excellent.

Continuing brilliance

I've read all the books in this series and I've been waiting for Jeremiah's Bell after the cliffhanger ending in the previous book. Big Jim Daley was airlifted to Glasgow, critically ill and injured. This book picks up immediately after that point at a funeral. There are no spoilers here; I was gutted. Shows the power of Meryick's writing. I've actually invested emotionally in these characters as the series has progressed.

Brian Scott is on temporary promotion and provides moments of real humour in his interaction with senior colleagues and his malapropisms. He remains irreverent and incredibly human. Hamish entertains with his local knowledge and insight into human nature and other recurring characters make this a story with depth and interest.

The plot centres on local female who went missing some 30 years ago. The story is multilayered, with the reasons divulged but by bit, along with the connection to the bell of the title.

I bought the Audible version; the narration is superb and it plays out as a really strong drama. It's complex with unexpected twists and turns and a real joy to listen to. It works as a standalone, but to better appreciate the character developments, it's better to read the earlier books as well. Very highly recommended.

Outstanding narration, brilliant storytelling

Very enjoyable, plenty of twists and turns. One of the most engaging parts of this series is the development of the characters and their relationships. So well drawn - I feel as though I know them! Great dialogue, especially between Scott and Ella. As for David Monteath's performance...outstanding as always. He would make a shopping list sound dramatic!

More excitement in Kinloch!
