About this listen

In August 1992 a young mother and her two small sons were brutally murdered in the woods behind their home. Her neighbour, Andrew Gyle, was convicted of the crime and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Now, 23 years later, a macabre discovery throws new light on the case. Could there have been a shocking miscarriage of justice?

DCI Colin Anderson and his partner, DI Costello, uncover serious discrepancies in the original investigation; it becomes clear that not everyone is telling them the truth.

Critic reviews

"Masterful writing, vivid characters, and a highly imaginative, terrifying, and byzantine plot." ( Booklist on The Tears of Angels)
"If you’re a fan of the police procedural, with a very human protagonist, then this is well worth a look." ( Puzzle Doctor)

Enjoyed the story although I felt the ‘loose ends’ where too quickly tied up. Also felt a bit confusing working out the logistics of the main crime area set up etc(not saying more to avoid spoilers). I sped the narrator up to 1.1 as the delivery was a little slow for me. Cathleen has done a decent job taking over from James Macpherson. I’ve followed Anderson and Costello from Absolution.

Exactly what it says on the tin - there are Rats!

I did like this story, but I found some of the characters highly annoying, Jennifer is a weak willed idiot who finally, FINALLY does the right thing at the end of the book, but drove me crazy most of the way through, Anderson was behaving in a similar fashion and almost got himself killed so all in all, not a story that puts Police Scotland in a good light, but, all's well that ends well, as they say ... whoever 'they' are ... I also felt that Jock Airde (not sure of that spelling) got a raw deal most of the way through this book.

The narrator, is rather annoying, she has a bit of lisping, weird accent that's not really right for the characters or the region but she's not terrible so she gets three stars.

Ok but

The story itself is a cracking good one, but if you have issues about rats, it might not be for you.

Tense, a bit terrifying.

My introduction to Caro’s writing. Her words flow smoothly like the hidden rivers around Glasgow. The twists and turns kept me hooked until the final reveal. Going to read more of her work. Brilliant writer!

My first Caro

Brilliant book from start to finish so much drama and suspence. Could not guess who done it which I think makes a brilliant read

Fantastic
