About this listen

After powerful investors lose big, investigating a financial advisor's murder won't be child's play for a strained detective.

DI Jack Knox's Edinburgh team are busy dealing with a series of violent rapes when a man is found murdered on a residential street. The detective splits the under-resourced squad and follows up the murder himself, quickly establishing that there is no shortage of individuals who would have wanted the man dead.

The victim had secured private investments for NewTech, a video games company that fell foul of copyright law. A lot of serious people lost serious money. Whilst Knox treads on eggshells and traces the finances, the rest of the team led by his real life partner, DC Yvonne Mason, focus on the rape.

They zone in on the perpetrator, but cornered and desperate, their quarry won't go without a fight. Ready for a quiet life, yet battered from all sides, will this be one blow too many for Knox?

Noughts and Crosses is the fourth standalone murder mystery by Robert McNeill in the DI Jack Knox series set in Edinburgh.

I like the DI Jack Knox books and their plots - would be nice if they were a bit longer because they end too soon.

Good short story as usual

A good narrator doing his best with inferior material. Lots of mistakes wooden characters stilted dialogue. I only listen to these books to hear a Scots voice (I live in SE England which wasn’t my plan at all.)

Narrator good, writer not so much.

Having read the other DI Knox books was a wee bit disappointed in the lack of any real sense of urgency. Still, it was a fair tale set in my favourite city.
My only comment about the narrator is that no Edinburgh cops ever spoke with such posh accents and his characterisation of the women was not quite accurate. Still, ha was better than most.
