About this listen

 A woman slipping through the cracks . . .
When a young Vietnamese girl goes missing in Scotland, DI Birch knows there is more to the case than meets the eye. Her colleagues won't take it seriously - but Helen's instinct tells her that Linh is in mortal danger.

A psychic determined to help . . .
Beatrice knows something terrible has happened to three young people in Edinburgh. She can see them in her mind's eye - frightened and alone, desperate for help. Ever since she was a child, she's had visions of the future - and she's ignored them before, with dangerous consequences. This time, she must help the police find Linh.

A showdown where not everyone will survive . . .
When a second woman goes missing, DI Birch is forced to pay attention to what Beatrice is saying. But will the police listen to the truth in time? Or is it already too late?©2025 Claire Askew Crime Thrillers Mystery Police Procedurals Suspense Thriller & Suspense Scotland

I have loved this series, and this one did not disappoint. I hope the main character will continue as I do love her strength and development.

I have listened to all 6 D. I. Birch books over a the past week. I just wanted to see how the book ended in every case. I have really enjoyed them.
I am bit concerned that the end of book 6 mentions that D. I. Birch has left the police - Does that mean this is the end of the series? I hope not.
