About this listen

In the village of Cronchie, a wealthy family are found brutally murdered. The Devil Stone, an heirloom rumoured to bring death if removed from their home, is the only thing stolen. The key suspects are known satanists. But when the investigating officer disappears, DCI Christine Caplan is pulled in to investigate.

Caplan knows she is being punished for a minor misdemeanour when she is seconded to the Highlands, but she’s confident she can quickly solve the murders and return home to her fractious family. But as she closes in on the truth, it is suddenly her life, not her career, that is in danger.

A really good listen! Great plot, tons of twists, and a strong woman in charge. Not perfect, but I would definitely recommend.

The narration was first class, kept me wanting more and so it was very hard to put down. Can't wait for more books from this author.

It was all good.

I found this book very boring in places and struggled to finish it. It only came alive in the last few chapters. Pity, it had the makings of a decent book. I won't be buying the next in the series.

A very rushed ending. It was sometimes difficult to work out which character was 'speaking '.

Good description of Scottish scenery
