Story
What if the serial killer you were investigating was someone you knew? DS Wendy Knight's first murder case was always going to test her limits, but even she couldn't anticipate that a sadistic serial killer might be someone she knew - very well. As her investigation unfolds, so too does a sinister plot that will turn her world upside down and make it increasingly difficult to distinguish friend from foe in her tight-knit world. By the time Wendy realises she is the killer's final intended victim, she's left fighting against her personal instincts - and for her life.

The brutal murder of 10-year-old Callum Bradley sent shockwaves across Scotland, but as the weeks have stretched on with no solid leads, the investigation has been scaled back. Sergeant Don Colyear, community police officer, is tasked with tying up a loose end: a 999 call which may have hinted at the boy's murder. However, the call was made three weeks before the crime took place. The caller turns out to be a resident at an Edinburgh care home, drifting in and out of lucidity due to dementia - enough to write off the potential lead as a dead end.

Adam Croft creates a new Gene Hunt
In the Knight and Culverhouse first 3 books Adam Croft has created a Gene Hunt for the noughties. Jack Culverhouse embodies all of the policing made famous by Jack Reagan (for those of us old enough to remember The Sweeny) and Gene Hunt in the brilliant Life on Mars. Culverhouse believes that policing has become far too PC and not in Police Constable sense, and feels it is his job to bring back the bad cop in the good cop bad cop scenario. I love this character, he made me laugh out loud. As to the books, they are pretty well thought out and flow at just the perfect pace to make them enjoyable. Is Adam Croft a great author? Only time will tell. Is he a brilliant and talented story teller? ABSOLUTELY!!! Well done Adam!

Not good
The books are short so no real depth to any story making them very predictable. The characters are just awful, Knight is portrayed as a simpering girl and further she suffers a dreadful tragedy which is treated with flippancy in both the writing and narrative. The author narrates and this too does not lend itself to helping the storyline.

Incredibly boring on all counts
I love finding new authors and crime series. But what a disappointment. Due to sight problems both my husband and I have to read audio books, so we are used to them. This one sent me to sleep numerous times in the first 10 chapters. I struggled on but the author reading his own book, always a bad mistake, droned on and on, hardly any change in the character's voices. And very little emotion either. The story was not worth listening to either. Don't bother.

Couldn’t get into this set
I only managed half of the first book before I decided my time could be better spent than listening to this. I found the performance poor and the voices hard to discriminate between. Often enough I needed the attribution, “John said…” to be sure of who was speaking. I found the main protagonist flat and constantly doing the wrong thing. She’s supposed to be smart but that seemed a stretch too far when put against her actions.

Sorry I chose this one!
This book is a huge disappointment as far as I am concerned. I tried to get through the first book in this trio, however, the narrator is one of the worst and his accent is really annoying. I can't get past this and understand what the book is about. Returning for one credit.

Not AWFUL but not worth it. Dull
I got about halfway through the first book and stopped. The two lead characters failed to engage me. While I might be able to accept a DCI as openly sexist and bigoted as Culverhouse, it’s hard to accept the leader of an investigative unit would be non-plussed by evidence that pointed to a perpetrator being right-handed. So I found the character of Culverhouse more of a caricature and an unappealing one.
Knight is better, but I don’t find her behavior consistent. I’m all for flawed characters, but they need to be interesting or appealing in some way. Knight is not. She’s just dull.
Also, I’m pretty sure I know the direction of the plot, so I don’t feel the need to finish the story even to find the “whodunnit” answer. All in all not worth the credit & I am returning.
