Summary
A stolen child. A killer stalking the streets of Glasgow. A troubled detective running out of time.
Five years ago, DCI John Lomond led the search for notorious Glasgow child-killer ‘The Sandman', until personal tragedy forced him off the case.
In Lomond's absence, the killer was never found.
Now, with nothing but work left in his life, Lomond remains obsessed with the case–despite the nightmares it brings.
When a child is abducted in similar Sandman fashion from an affluent Glasgow suburb, Lomond is brought in to find them before it's too late.
But the only forensic evidence belongs to a little girl who was abducted and murdered twenty years ago.
Could the Sandman's identity lie buried in the coldest of cold cases? Or is a new killer about to claim their first victim?
The Bonnie Dead is the explosive debut Scottish crime thriller from Andrew Raymond–author of Amazon number one political thriller Official Secrets, which has now sold over 100,000 copies.
Shot through with dark Glaswegian humour and thrilling twists, he captures the voices of his beloved home city, taking you into its hidden depths, and the iconic hills and glens of nearby Loch Lomond and Arran.
If you like writers like JD Kirk, Ian Rankin, and Stuart MacBride, this addictive thriller will have you gripped until its haunting, heart-in-the-mouth climax.

Some hysterical lines
It’s been 3 days since I’ve finished this book and it’s sad to say but I can’t even remember the story line. It was so funny at times with the patter and I did laugh out loud. I had to listen to a few chapters again and again but mostly because my brain doesn’t always take it in. As of writing this I can’t remember the ending, and the truth is, I can’t be bothered re listening to any of it. I didn’t feel it was a waste of a credit but it wasn’t mind blowing either. It was good for me as a Glasgow girl to hear all the local streets etc mentioned, and the storyline was decent. The narrator was great, I don’t often listen to men narrators so a wee change for me.

Gripping!
I was attracted to this as Angus King was the narrator - I am so glad I downloaded it - it was absolutely gripping. I have loved Angus King’s excellent narration of the JD Kirk books, but struggled to find a series to replace them. Andrew Raymond has done a stellar job as author - didn’t see the ending coming, but when it did, it all came together. All ends tied up, nothing botched or hurried - a great ‘read’. The location too of Glasgow, Argyll, Edinburgh and Arran were so accurately described by the author, and accents conveyed perfectly by the narrator, that I felt I was there - I could see them all in my minds eye. Well done Andrew Raymond in combination with Angus King.

Good read
It was good read. I love JD Kirk books and although this isn't it was still a good read. Maybe it's because the narrator of both books is Angus King and he's so good at bringing books and characters to life

Absolutely Superb debut to a new Detective series!
I loved everything about this book- probably one of the very best I have listened too and I have listened to over 700 books mostly thriller/ detective series.
As a debut novel it was faultless, the plot was original, so many twists and turns which kept me guessing. DCI John Lomond is a brilliant creation and the team he has working for him work so well together - a ‘likeable’ team, with their flaws but also love how they worked so well together and also bought Scotland alive, you feel you can see snd experience all the sights and sounds.
I could gush on and on… really hoping I don’t have long to wait until the second in the series and as always Angus King’s narration is flawless!

This is what it's all about
A believable lead character complete with haunting back story. A diverse supporting cast, each with their own contribution. A feasible plot and suspect list. A sense of urgency, plenty of suspense and the occasional injection of Glasgow humour. Angus King as narrator was an added bonus (big fan of his work). I wolfed this down in two sittings. A premier example of the genre.
