About this listen
Don’t miss the first novel in a gripping series featuring DI Clare Mackay, perfect for fans of Alex Gray, D. S. Butler and Rachel Amphlett.
On the night of a wedding celebration, one guest meets a grisly end when he’s killed in a hit-and-run. A card bearing the number ‘five’ has been placed on the victim’s chest. DI Clare Mackay, who recently moved to join the St Andrews force, leads the investigation.
The following night another victim is struck down and a number ‘four’ card is at the scene. Clare and her team realise they’re against the clock to find a killer stalking the streets and bent on carrying out three more murders.
To prevent further deaths, the police have to uncover the link between the victims. But those involved have a lot more at stake than meets the eye. If Clare wants to solve the case, she must face her own past and discover the deepest secrets of the victims - and the killer.

Excellent listen!
I've started being a bit more circumspect about doling out 5 star reviews & will keep those for the truly exceptional. This was excellent, but not exceptional!
Cracking story, good twists & turns and nice bits of sub-plot running through it. Nice to hear an author narrating - the delivery might not have the absolute perfection of an actor/professional narrator, but the fact that she knew exactly how she wanted her characters portrayed gave the whole thing a warmth, life & intimacy that added to the listening experience. I'll look out for more in this series & hope that the next few are a bit longer - finished this one in a day, so not outstandingly good value, pound for hour.

Difficult to listen to!
The actual book was decent however the narration was awful and cringe-worthy. It sounded very flat, there was little emotion or drama and it all sounded quite monotone. A trained actor or voice artist would have made this much better!

Disappointed after it was recommended to me
I so wanted to like this book, but it is such a cliche to have the head police boss, being super critical of the main detective character that it really put me off quite quickly. There was too much time spent on the verbatim orders being given within the police station, and not enough time fleshing out the actual plot and action. This book simply did not pull me along. Maybe following books in the series improve, but I doubt I will try them.

Ignore negative comments about narration!
I’ve actually just finished book 4 in this series and am so glad I ignored comments about poor narration! It took me 5 minutes to get used to the author’s/reader’s voice and I found her excellent; very natural and with enough subtle distinction between the voices that I knew who was speaking. I loved these books! This first is a scene-setter but also a really good story in is own right. I didn’t expect to enjoy them so much, but got hooked and grew to care about the characters, who are so excellently written. Book one is fab, but I found each story better than the last, which shows the growth of the author, whose work I will definitely be following. I hope there will be more books in this series.

Narrator was dreadful
The story was ok, was not gripping, however was not dull. Some of the comments had mentioned the bad narration. Sounded like she had a cold and voice was flat. As much as you wanted to know the outcome, couldn't wait for it to end

New Scottish Noir
This is a new author to me. I was dubious at the author also being the narrator. I shouldn't have been concerned as it was an excellent performance. The content of the story was gripping, the characters well crafted and the conclusion satisfying. Now looking for the follow up. Recommended

Nice pace detective story
Nice pace detective story read in the accent of the book basis by the author.

Addictive and harrowing story.
A great story that will have you guessing and doesn't reveal it's true essence until and then hits you like a bomb. The lead character's life keeps you occupied as a separate story, adding to the intrigue of this book.

Most enjoyable
I have been looking for a series of detective books akin to Louise Penny and Joy Ellis for a while. At last I have found one. This was really enjoyable.
