‘I love, love, LOVE Perfect Remains!’ Reader review

‘A superb debut!’ Reader review

‘Without doubt, this is one of the best detective series I have ever read.’ Woman’s Way Magazine

Welcome to Edinburgh. Murder capital of Europe.

In the middle of a rock festival, a charity worker is sliced across the stomach. He dies minutes later. In a crowd of thousands, no one saw his attacker.

The following week, the body of a primary school teacher is found in a dumpster in an Edinburgh alley, strangled with her own woollen scarf.

D.I. Ava Turner and D.I. Luc Callanach have no leads and no motive – until around the city, graffitied on buildings, words appear describing each victim.

It’s only when they realise the words are being written before rather than after the murders, that they understand the killer is announcing his next victim…and the more innocent the better.

Critic reviews

Praise for Perfect Prey:

‘This is a twisty, turny read that forces you to concentrate as the plot truly thickens.’ Woman’s Way

‘Fields is very good at creating an atmosphere and painting a picture with words that capture the imagination. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader enthralled while the personal lives and characteristics of the central cast are tantalisingly explored over time. Perfect Remains was a good read and Fields set the bar very high for herself but if anything Perfect Prey is just as exciting, if not better.’ Scotland Correspondent

Praise for Perfect Remains:

‘Must read! With nail-biting twists at every turn, [Perfect Remains] will have readers gripped from start to finish.’ Closer

‘Fields’ brilliantly chilling debut novel introduces DI Luc Callanach. Longlisted for this year's McIlvanney Prize, this book is perfect for fans of Peter May, Stuart MacBride and Ann Cleeves.’ The Daily Record

‘Read it in two sittings. I literally had no choice. A fast and enthralling thriller, pitting a new, very human hero against one of the scariest psychos I've yet encountered in crime fiction.’ Sunday Times bestseller, Paul Finch

‘Without doubt, this is one of the best first detective series I have read.’ Woman’s Way Magazine

‘Genuinely chilling.’ Saga Magazine

‘Watch out Rebus, McRae and Perez there’s a new detective in the running to become Scotland’s fictional top cop…a real cracker of a page-turner that is truly difficult to put down.’ Scotland Correspondent

This is an excellent story which leaves the reader wanting more. The narrative stands alone even though it is a follow on in a series. the performance was very strong. I can't wait for the next one!

After the first book I couldn't wait for this - and I wasn't disappointed! The story, although grim, was gripping. The characters rounded and enthralling. And I'm certain that the chemistry between Luc & Ava has to explode soon! Super audio book, thanks also to the narrator.

Grisly but gripping!

Excellent book full of suspense that made me want to keep listening.
I'd recommend this book to any reader who loves a good detective story that keeps your mind actively wondering and trying to work out the culprit while willing the detectives to find hurry and them!
I loved all the characters (good ones) especially Turner and Callaghan and I love listening to the Scottish accent!

Hooked from the start!

Loved this story. The performance was spot on bringing life and colour to the characters with a wide range of excellent accents.

The story and plot itself is thrilling and well paced leaving me hooked and choosing to take the long road home so I listen to it longer.

I dont't often leave a review but this book and performance (like the first in this series) are AMAZING.

Slightly concerned about Helen Fields' state of mind though 😉

Gripping
