About this listen

Private investigator Jasmine Shar has been hired to find Tessa Garrion, a young woman who has vanished without trace. What begins as a simple search awakens a malevolence that has lain dormant for three decades. As Jasmine uncovers a hidden history of sex, drugs, ritualism, and murder, she realises she may need a little help from the dark side herself if she's going to get to the truth.

I love Chris Brookmyre's books and this is no exception. Also enjoyed Sarah Barron's narration.

I really enjoyed the book, the last 4 hours I could not put it away. The narrator has very sharp "S"es but you get used to it after a while.

great story!

Excellent narration makes this an even more enthralling listen. I’m disappointed there are no more available books in this series but intend to try some other Brookmyre books to see if they are as gripping.

Twists and turns to the last minute

I don't know whether it was meant to be a stereotypical "dour Scot" reading, but she got my stereotypical thumbs up for achieving it! At first, didn't like it but then it grew on me.

The story kept me gripped throughout. It was worth the listen, right up to the inevitable last twist.

Great Story - reader dour

I've read lots of Chris Brookmyre's books in the past and enjoyed most of them. This was my first of his via audio and he's still got it!

Great plot with twists and turns right up to the last sentence.

Good performance although I felt that Jasmine's voice could be more strident.

Which of his books to choose next.....

Chris Brookmyre rocks!
