About this listen

An old mystery solved after 35 years. And a new one just beginning....

Millionaire Murdo Wolf took off in a small plane from the island where he lived, and neither he nor the plane was ever seen again. Until now.

The Wolf family have gathered on the island they used to call home. They're celebrating the life of their father, Oliver Wolf, who died six months ago.

Now, one of Oliver's sons has been murdered. And when his body is discovered, so is the body of his grandfather. Did the son know where his grandfather was hidden? Did he die because of it?

DCI Harry McNeil is sent to the island to investigate the cold case and track down a killer who may or may not still be there.

Helping with the investigation are two detectives from Glasgow, DCI Jimmy Dunbar and DS Robbie Evans.

This isn't an open-and-shut case and they discover the killer is still lurking on the island, and the body count is increasing. But with no clear motive and no direct links to the patriarch going missing all those years ago, this is going to be one of the hardest cases Harry has ever worked on.

Point of No Return is book number 7 in the DCI Harry McNeil series.

I got a little confused but I think only because I listen in the night and missed bits of theodd chapter. But I went back as I wanted to know every bit. No just skipping to the end!! I have reviewed books of this series before as I am invested in them. I think even if you dip in trying to find your next good series you wont be disappointed just purchasecextra credits as you will want them all.

A worthy addition to the series

Always enjoyable with good stories, ace characters and the right mix of humour. Nicely written by John Carson and well narrated by Angus King who helps bring it all alive for us listeners. Moving onto the next one ….

Top Notch

I've been working my way through the series and enjoyed getting to know the characters narrated well, as ever, by Angus King. This review is really for the series so far! They are very easy listening with lots of humour peppered in along the way and a plot that pulls you in. The characters are well-written, though I must confess to find Alex pretty needy & we are told often how great she is, rather than her actions & words showing us. If I could give half stars, these would be 3.5 rather than 4 as there are a few things which could be better. Firstly, they are very short so you don't feel you get quite as much value as with other audios. Secondly, so many of the crimes are linked or directly involving the main detectives which seems to lack a bit of imagination & plausibility; which is also my last point- often the endings are stretched too far, presumably, to stop the listener guessing whodunnit, when actually something a little less convoluted would be more satisfying.

That all said, I'm still listening as they are definitely an undemanding bit of fun!

Enjoyable series
