About this listen

A woman is found in a local cemetery, crushed to death under a gravestone. A production company is there, filming the remake of a classic sci-fi TV show on the grounds, making the investigation more difficult for DCI Harry McNeil.

It's his first day in charge of the cold case unit in Edinburgh. After spending four years in Professional Standards, he has little choice but to take the promotion. The Crown Office decides which cold cases should be reviewed, and this time, they've decided the murder of a teenage girl from 20 years ago should be reopened. A girl who was murdered by somebody pushing a gravestone on top of her....

The case gets more complicated when they find out who the latest victim is. Suddenly there are no shortage of suspects. As the filming continues, so does the killing. And McNeil wonders, has a killer been murdering for 20 years? Or is this case completely unconnected? With Frank Miller's help, he's going to find out...the hard way....

Angus King is wonderful as ever.
However, the story is so short and compact, with a wide range of characters, which makes it a little hard to follow at times.

The rest of the titles look this short , so although I enjoyed the book, I'm not sure they are value for money. I wonder what else Angus is reading?

compact!

Loved these books, the storyline, characters and sense of humour. But really wish they were twice as long! Would be 5 stars if they were longer.

Great Characters and Drew me in!
