About this listen

A stolen child. A killer stalking the streets of Glasgow. A troubled detective running out of time.

Five years ago, DCI John Lomond led the search for notorious Glasgow child-killer ‘The Sandman', until personal tragedy forced him off the case.

In Lomond's absence, the killer was never found.

Now, with nothing but work left in his life, Lomond remains obsessed with the case–despite the nightmares it brings.

When a child is abducted in similar Sandman fashion from an affluent Glasgow suburb, Lomond is brought in to find them before it's too late.

But the only forensic evidence belongs to a little girl who was abducted and murdered twenty years ago.

Could the Sandman's identity lie buried in the coldest of cold cases? Or is a new killer about to claim their first victim?

The Bonnie Dead is the explosive debut Scottish crime thriller from Andrew Raymond–author of Amazon number one political thriller Official Secrets, which has now sold over 100,000 copies.

Shot through with dark Glaswegian humour and thrilling twists, he captures the voices of his beloved home city, taking you into its hidden depths, and the iconic hills and glens of nearby Loch Lomond and Arran.

If you like writers like JD Kirk, Ian Rankin, and Stuart MacBride, this addictive thriller will have you gripped until its haunting, heart-in-the-mouth climax.

I'm a huge JD kirk/Angus king fan .
this book is actually more complex and better written, though not quite as hilarious/daft as Kirk. perfectly performed by the "king" of narrators of course.
can't wait for 2nd book!

awesome!

This book was a pleasant surprise, I really enjoyed it from start to finish. The story was well written and kept me interested all the way through to the end and of course faultlessly narrated by Angus King. I've already downloaded the second book in this series!

Excellent story well narrated

I listen to an audiobook all day, every day, while I work - so I go through a lot! I invariably choose crime thrillers (for some reason) but nothing too gory. I have never listened to anything by Andrew Raymond before (that I'm aware of) but I am now off to search for more! This book was so well written and the main characters are very likeable. The narration by Angus King is faultless (to me) and I would very happily listen to another book read by him. All in all, one of the best audiobooks I've ever heard! The story had me gripped from start to finish - no eye-rolling at implausible plot lines - just a really intriguing tale, expertly read.

Excellent!

Listening to Angus King narrate this, I can't help thinking I'm listening to DCI Logan, and expecting Hoon to barrel through.
Nonetheless, it's well written with the usual twists. Well worth a listen.
