About this listen

 'Gripping and grisly, with plenty of twists and turns that race along with black humour.' Craig Robertson

St. Andrews, Scotland: When an elderly woman's naked body is found in her home, crucified to the floor, DCI Andy Gilchrist and his associate, DS Jessie Janes, find themselves in a hunt for a brutal serial killer. As the body count rises, suspicion falls on Tap 'Dancer' McCrear, a career criminal recently released from prison after serving fifteen years for a murder he swore he never committed.

As Gilchrist begins to uncover the terrifying truth behind each of the killings, his worst fears are realised when he learns that McCrear is killing everyone involved in his murder trial... for it was Gilchrist who arrested McCrear all those years ago.

High-flying Detective Superintendent Rommie Frazier, who leads the multi-constabulary task force searching for McCrear, clashes with Gilchrist over the detail of the investigation, and demands his removal. But Gilchrist won't leave without a fight, for he knows it is up to him to find Tap McCrear... before his own name is struck off the murder list.

PRAISE FOR T.F. MUIR:

'Rebus did it for Edinburgh. Laidlaw did it for Glasgow. Gilchrist might just be the bloke to put St Andrews on the crime fiction map.' Daily Record

'A truly gripping read, with all the makings of a classic series.' Mick Herron

'DCI Gilchrist gets under your skin. Though, determined, and a bit vulnerable, this character will stay with you long after the last page.' Anna Smith

This went exactly as expected. Eventually every detective series has to do this particular revenge storyline, I think it might be the law. But it was an entertaining listen, and well narrated. Apart from one thing. Succinylcholine. Ouch! The pronunciation! Every time he said it wrong, it jarred me right out of the story. I so wish audiobook publishers would provide narrators with phonetic spellings of medical, pharmaceutical, and uncommon words (although having heard a narrator pronounce plough as “pluff” I suspect they’d be fighting a losing battle).

Pretty good

I haven’t read all the books in this series, but I’ve enjoyed all those I’ve read or listened too and this one works well as a standalone. DI Gilchrist has returned to work after time off due to exhaustion. He’s thrown into a complex case of serial killings with an horrific MO involving crucifixion.

Fast paced murder thriller

Great story, great performance. I would recommend the author and narrator.
Although at times it is gruesome and can be sweary (bad language)

Great story

another T F Muir book that is well written and a plus use to listen to, as the read is just a natural.

The story is good and has a few twists and turns, although a bit of an abrupt ending

as normal a good book well read

I have only recently found T F Muir. I know David Monteath from other audible books and together they give great listening.

The story line faultless and the delivery by David Monteath a sheer joy.

I will watch out from now on for all new offerings.

Tank you both.

A gripping book
