Summary
There are lots of things that ran in families, but murder wasn't one of them....
When a teenage joyrider crashes a stolen car and ends up in a coma, a routine DNA test could be the key to unlocking the mystery of a 20-year-old murder inquiry.
Detective Chief Inspector Karen Pirie is an expert at solving the unsolvable. With each cold case closed, justice is served. So, finding the answer should be straightforward, but it's as twisted as the DNA helix itself.
Meanwhile Karen finds herself irresistibly drawn to another case, one that she has no business investigating. And as she pieces together decades-old evidence, Karen discovers the most dangerous kinds of secrets. Secrets that someone is willing to kill for.

The Curate's Egg
Any additional comments?
About three hours in I almost lost the will to live listening to this book. The tedious stereotyped males in the book almost drove me away as the narrative almost juddered to a halt. BUT, it is worth persevering, it does get a lot better and I recommend this book as a good listen.

Good police procedural
Great narration and a good lead character in DI Pirie. The story is absorbing and (just about) credible. I liked the Edinburgh setting

My first Of many from Val
I loved the book, it was gripping from the get go. The descriptive nature of the story was complimented massively by Cathleen as the narration was spot on. A very enjoyable listen, characters you can easily relate to. Full marks from me as I found myself compelled to continue through the chapters.
My first book by Val McDermid definitely not my last.

Scottish Crime Fiction (with political nous)
Would you listen to Out Of Bounds again? Why?
I had a couple of false starts with this book but once I got past the first couple of chapters I was hooked. McDermid has complete control of her story and weaves different lives and themes together. There are a lot of twists, turns and connections which mean listening a second time would be worth it. The characters and dialogue are well written and performed and there's a pride and love of Scotland that's infectious. It manages to be both personal and political, and while it's fiction, it touches on some very real issues in the world today. I love the digs at Trump.

Multifaceted
I do enjoy a book that has more than one strand to it and this was great for that. There were 2 other strands added to the story of Karen Pirie and all this amounted to a thoroughly enthralling story.
