It's December, and the Shannon family are returning home to their clifftop mansion near Kinloch for their annual AGM. Shannon International is one of the world's biggest private companies, with tendrils reaching around the globe in computing, banking and mineral resourcing, and it has brought untold wealth and privilege to the family. However, a century ago Archibald Shannon stole the land upon which he built their home, and his descendants have been cursed ever since.

When heavy snow cuts off Kintyre, DCI Jim Daley and DS Brian Scott are assigned to protect their illustrious visitors. As an ancient society emerges from the blizzards, and its creation, the Rat Stone, reveals grisly secrets, ghosts of the past come to haunt the Shannons. As the curse decrees, death is coming. But for whom, and from what?

"Far-fetched" was a term used by one of the characters in this bizarre instalment of what has, hitherto, been a refreshing addition to the crime fiction scene.

Characterisation and development, such a strong element of the preceding novels, was cast aside in favour of over-complex and frankly incredible plotting; the last four hours of listening felt interminable.

'Phoned in' is an expression I believe is used to described lazy, formulaic Hollywood scripts and this one felt phoned-in.

After a pause, I think I will give the fifth novel a go but DCI Daley and his fellow island-dwellers are, as far as I'm concerned, on notice.

I love the DCI Daley Series. Each story gets darker and more intriguing. Once started I just find it hard to put them down. Denzil Meyrick's style of writing and his story concepts are amazing. He is by far my favourite male author. If you like James Patterson, you are going to like Denzil Meyrick, I'm sure.
The DCI Daley series is taken to a whole new level by the Narrator, David Monteath who makes the characters so easy to identify. He brings them to life and that's what I'm looking for as a reader/listener. Fantastic!
Meyrick and Monteath make an exceptional partnership.

Awesome Novel

Having enjoyed the previous books in the Daley series, the storyline of this book fell well below my expectations.

So many things happened throughout the story that I was left convinced that this has been written with a film-script in mind. It was just like an action movie in parts which I found particularly annoying.

David Monteath was a joy to listen to, as usual. His amazing repertoire of accents is truly brilliant!

The weakest of Mr Meyrick’s offerings to date

Just didn’t keep me on the age of the seat as previous books have
Won’t continue with the series unfortunately

This is by far my favourite DCI Daley book. lots of twists and turns and as usual I was guessing quite a bit right until the end. nothing ever runs smoothly in Kinloch and this book is no different. a return for some of the usual characters and another excellent story!

another excellent book
