Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
An unmissable thriller from the number one bestselling author.
Who do you trust when everyone's guilty?
Marky Bishop is dying. That's why they've given him a compassionate early release, only where can a career criminal like him go to spend his final months?
From the outside, Glenfarach looks like a quaint, sleepy, snow-dusted village, nestled deep in the heart of Cairngorms National Park, but things aren't what they seem. The place is thick with security cameras, and there's a strict nine o'clock curfew, because Glenfarach is the last safe haven for people who've served their sentences but can't be safely released into the general population.
For Detective Constable Edward Reekie, this was supposed to be a simple delivery job—drive his new boss up to HMP Grampian and collect Marky Bishop, take him to Glenfarach, then head back home again. Nothing dangerous or complicated.
So how could it all go so horribly wrong?
The weather's closing in, tensions are mounting, and time's running out—something nasty has come to Glenfarach, and Edward is standing right in its way....

Humour
Dislike the shouting and screams.Not necessary especially when you’re listening using earbuds. Doesn’t add any

Loved this book!
I was a bit apprehensive in buying this book due to the negative reviews but I needn’t have worried. Excellently written as always with laugh out loud moments. I loved Edward’s character- the perfect foil for Victoria his grumpy superior. Hopefully many more books to come featuring this duo.

Excellent!
I love Stuart McBride and this book didn't disappoint. It's dark humour made me laugh out loud on the bus. The characters echoed his earlier books and were a return to the first books I read that hooked me. No character duo will ever live up to McCrae and Steele but I did warm to Edward and loved his personality. I almost felt like I knew him which is a testament to the brilliant writing of the Author. The action was skillfully written and kept me listening to "just one more chapter" I highly recommend this book.

Brilliant
Intriguing and captivating, I was engrossed from chapter one. The plot twists kept me guessing and the characters were multi dimensional. Humorous and shocking in equal measure, I loved it.

Great story, excellent performance
I laughed my way through this fantastic performance, especially by McHugh. Dark humour a plenty, brilliant characters, all typical of Macbride's style. Some nice plot twists which I won't spoil.

Really enjoy the humour that’s so delightful in often dark crimes from Stuart Macbride. Loved the dedication in last book to Victoria Wood. The same laughable conversations between characters who often are on totally different topics are wonderfully created between the likeable characters in Macbride’s books.

Gave up and returned it!
Unfortunately, I returned it with 4 hours left! I listen to audio books every day whilst sewing orders. I listen, on average, to a book a day! (not Audible I'm not rich!) Stuart Macbride was my favourite author (Logan days). I didn't even bother with the last book after reading the reviews. This one is a letdown in so many ways. The plot is tedious. The characters are weak. I don't usually leave negative reviews as I know in my business they hurt, but I wish we could read/listen to more 'Logan days' . I've listened to all of that series many times over, and they still 'satisfy'.
