Great series so far

Loved these books having now read all three in the series currently available on audible. Really like this narrator and hope they will stick with him in future books in the series. You do need to read them in the correct order and will certainly enjoy them all the more for doing so. They are pretty clever books with enough twists and turns to keep you listening late into the night. Like Gilchrist and his sidekicks and would hope this series will continue to delight as the charactors are developed further, So far this author puts me in mind of Caro Ramsay who I am a great fan of.

Best one so far

This is a high quality series and this is my favourite so far. Lots of twists and turns, a further development of Gilchrist's personal story and a fiendishly difficult crime to solve all brought to life with excellent narration.. It simply ticks all the boxes!

Great book and very easy to listen to

Thoroughly enjoyed all 3 of these books and narrator very good- made it very easy to listen to and get into the book with the accent! Read in the wrong order but i don't think it really mattered. So glad I found these- really looked forward to switching on- shame there aren't anymore to listen to.

Good story if a little long.

Enjoyed the story, involving the discovery of a woman's skeleton found in the grave of a man who had been buried back in the 1960's and mysteriously linking it to DCI Gilchrist's late brother Jack.

There are lots of twists and turns that not only involves the investigation into the historic murder of the woman but also the answer to who was responsible for the hit and run that killed Gilchrist's brother 35 years ago.

The introduction at the beginning of the story of the Psychic was a little far fetched and I didn't really see the point of her character at all. All she seemed to do was be an annoying obnoxious American writer, and her only clue to being a psychic was her mentioning to Gilchrist that she sees flames and to be careful!! 🤔

David Monteath's narration was as always brilliant. I'm looking forward to listening to the next in the series. Recommended.

First book from author for me - choice was totally random, due to others write ups.

I was really enjoying tale - till the last two hours ( other than the not too good welsh accent - but easily forgiven).
Confusing, unbelievable n feel let down by end...

Well written and well read

I enjoyed this very much from the plausible and exciting plot to the way the narrator brought the characters life. Each character was given a perfect voice and the ending had me unable to turn it off. Start to finish it was an exciting and twisty, turny plot and I thoroughly recommend it.

Simple well paced and an excellent read/listen

I find the pace and simplicity if the story compelling with just enough twists and turns to keep you on your toes. the explanatory nature of some of the text is endearing as the story line is often hard to take.
The narration is excellent and totally in keeping with the story.
Will continue to listen to this series
Excellent book

Enjoyable

Generally, I enjoyed this novel, but I must say - there were so many characters that popped up that I got confused about the who and why! I am not brilliant at remembering names, and when someone was recalled to the story after a brief previous mention, in order that some link could be established, I had to seriously rack my brains to sort out the plot. I am not convinced I got it all - so may have to re-read.

I wasn't impressed by the presence of the Psychic who didn't lend much to the tale, but was a very strange character, almost offensive in some ways, and certainly not very likeable. Nor was I impressed by Andy Gilchrist's powers of deduction, I felt that he had hit on the right answer more by luck than judgement!

Gripping

Didn't disappoint. lots of loose ends though . really enjoyed the story but you're left wondering what about this person and that person.

Tooth for a tooth

Very good story, a bit complex in places, well written. Narration, as always, excellent. It's easy to picture Andy in the narrator's voice
