About this listen

Four missing girls, their disappearances spanning a decade. Suspected runaways, no one is looking for them anymore—until a new detective arrives.

DS Tracy McGregor, a disgraced police officer from Glasgow, demoted after the way she handled her last case, has recently relocated to Inverness. In charge of cold cases, she discovers a link between these missing girls, which if she is correct suggests Inverness may have a serial killer in their midst.

Meanwhile, Katie O‘Connor, a nurse from London, has moved to Inverness to start a new life. Unbeknownst to her, someone is watching her.

When Katie goes missing under similar circumstances, it becomes a race against time to find her—will DS McGregor reach her before it’s too late?

A very impressive debut novel. The plot is well thought out and moves at just the right pace to keep you hooked without dragging. Tracey, the police officer, and Katie are both very likeable, believable characters, and I found myself quickly invested in their stories. The mystery itself is gripping, full of tension, and had me wanting to listen to just one more chapter.
Simon Aitchison’s narration is excellent—clear, engaging, and really brings the book to life.
Overall, a real page turner [or in this case, page listener!]. I’ll definitely be looking out for the next in the series.
Thanks to the narrator for the copy and I leave this honest review voluntarily.

An entertaining, well written first novel by this author. An excellent premise,, Great characters, the dogged investigator and the latest victim. Told from both angles it keeps you involved throughout. One interesting thing is there is practically no dialogue in the book which is a little unusual but an interesting style of writing. Narration is excellent. i received a complimentary copy of the audio and am leaving a voluntary honest review.

Good One

My first audible book and I was hooked to the storyline from the start! I very quickly connected with both Katie and Tracy and the plot moved along at a perfect pace. The descriptive writing really enabled me to picture the various locations and settings and I loved learning about different places in Scotland too.

The narration was very engaging and the Scottish accent was perfect for the setting. The change in the narrator’s voice when the text referred to the killer, really sent a chill down my spine, making you quickly want to carry on with the story and adding so much suspense.

I’ve loved listening to this audible book and will definitely be back for more!
