About this listen

One detective. One murderer. But which is which?

Remie Yorke has one shift left at the Mackinnon Hotel in the remote Scottish Highlands before she leaves for good. Then Storm Ezra hits.

As temperatures plummet and phone lines go down, an injured man stumbles inside. PC Don Gaines was in a terrible accident on the mountain road. The only other survivor: the prisoner his team was transporting.

When a second stranger arrives, Remie reluctantly lets him in from the blizzard. He, too, is hurt. He claims to be a police officer. His name is also Don Gaines.

Someone is lying and, with no means of escape, Remie must work out who. If the cold doesn't kill her, one of these men will get there first...

An exciting and intriguing thriller, kept me guessing all the way through. Set brilliantly in the dramatic Scottish Highlands the plot twists and turns leaving the reader not knowing which character to believe. A real page turner!! Highly recommended.

Exciting, edge of your seat stuff!!

There was no humour in this book, the storyline got more and more far fetched as it went along, and the narrator struggled to make different characters obvious. Would recommend ‘Be My Enemy’ by Christopher Brookmyre as a similar but far superior read.

Dull and far fetched
