About this listen

 There are some things in life better not known, some things that should be left where they rest.

Erin Paterson runs her grandfather's law firm in Glasgow, and is an uncompromisingly aggressive negotiator. But the success of her practice is not echoed in her personal life. Erin's father has had a stroke. She can't stand her mother. Her sister's a flake and their brother, Leland, committed suicide. She's not doing too well with her boyfriend either, whom she discovers in flagrante the day that an old school friend, Lucy Grant, is murdered. From this moment, events unravel to test Erin's resolve to the maximum. Can she hold onto her job, even onto her life, when the past slithers out of the darkness to expose a secret in the family that no one dares confront?

Really enjoyed the story, looked for something else from this author, disappointed not to find another book.

Exceptional book - great plot, seat edge stuff

This is the first book i have read from this site. And it is well worth reading it. It held my attention from start to finish - lots of twists and turns. It's Scotland based and the narrator's carried this theme with the accent. Cannot wait for the next book by the author.

absolutely brilliant

I loved this book and found it exciting with great pace. The main character who starts out being pretty objectionable becomes less so as the story unfolds and you begin to understand what has made her the way she is regarding relationships. Narrator was brilliant. I was gripped by the tension throughout but then was completely flummoxed when it quite suddenly ended. It would have been nice if the author had dotted i's and crossed a few t's, instead of which one is left wondering. Maybe there is to be a sequel beginning where this one left off? If so, can't wait.

Curious ending.

I quite enjoyed this book, but I definitely don't think that it warrants the 5*s that others have given it. I can't critique it too much without adding spoilers, but this was not a book which had me taking the long route to work to listen more. Don't get me wrong, it's a reasonable listen with numerous twists and turns (not all of which come as a major surprise), but I found myself having little empathy with the main protagonist.

OK but I can't agree with the 5* reviews

Absolutely gripping from the start - the reader was excellent and utterly believable with a good range in voice characterisation. The plot is a bit far-fetched and at times lacking in credibility, but strangely that does not actually get in the way of enjoyment of the thrill as it develops at a good pace speckled with some wit and humour. Looking forward to the return of Erin Patterson in another story?
