About this listen
‘Must read!’ Closer
‘I love, love, LOVE Perfect Remains!’ Reader review
‘A superb debut!’ Reader review
On a remote Highland mountain, the body of Elaine Buxton is burning. All that will be left to identify the respected lawyer are her teeth and a fragment of clothing.
In the concealed back room of a house in Edinburgh, the real Elaine Buxton screams into the darkness…
Detective Inspector Luc Callanach has barely set foot in his new office when Elaine’s missing persons case is escalated to a murder investigation. Having left behind a promising career at Interpol, he’s eager to prove himself to his new team. But Edinburgh, he discovers, is a long way from Lyon, and Elaine’s killer has covered his tracks with meticulous care.
It’s not long before another successful woman is abducted from her doorstep, and Callanach finds himself in a race against the clock. Or so he believes … The real fate of the women will prove more twisted than he could have ever imagined.
Fans of Angela Marson, Mark Billingham and M. J. Aldridge will be gripped by this chilling journey into the mind of a troubled killer.

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

‘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
‘[An] absolute corker of a debut crime novel… a brilliantly plotted start to what I hope will be a long series.’The Herald
‘A smashing debut novel.’ Fife Free Press
Luc Callanach is an interesting character. He's half French and half Scottish and was working for Interpol but left under a cloud and found himself as a DI in Edinburgh. I wasn't sure about him at first because he came across as rather rude and arrogant, but as the book progressed I began to warm to him after hearing a little about his back story. I also enjoyed his growing friendship with DI Ava Turner, another brilliant character.
I somehow managed to buy two versions of this book from Audible. One narrated by Angus King and one narrated by Robin Laing. I started listening to the Angus King one first as he is a brilliant narrator and one of my favourite go-to narrators. Unfortunately his French accent was very 'All0 'Allo and I gave up very soon. Instead I listened to the Robin Laing version which was superb. Can't wait to start the next in the series.
Amazing (but not for the faint hearted!)

Thoroughly enjoyable.

Narration by Robin Laing was great - only one dodgy accent for the Astrid character which was pretty bad, but thankfully short lived.
The introduction of DI Callanach is looking like developing into a decent recurring character.
Highly recommend this Audiobook.
Fabulous - a proper thriller
