Summary
Four murders. Two detectives. One mystifying crime.
On Christmas Eve, DCI Mackenzie Jones is called to a shooting at a remote farmhouse. Ralph Mallender believes his father lies dead inside. When three more bodies are discovered, it's clear a festive family gathering has turned into a gruesome tragedy.
At first it seems like an open-and-shut case: a murder suicide committed by Ralph's volatile brother Cameron. Then new evidence makes Mack suspect the man who reported the crime is in fact the perpetrator.
But Mack isn't the only one with a stake in the case. Private investigator Atticus Priest has been hired to get Ralph acquitted. That means unearthing any weaknesses in Mack's evidence.
Irascible, impatient, and unpredictable, Atticus has weaknesses of his own. Mack knows all about them because they share a past - both professionally and personally. This time round, however, they aren't on the same side. And as Atticus picks at the loose ends of the case, everything starts to unravel in a way neither of them could ever have predicted....

Move over Sherlock Holmes
I never thought I would see the day when I read this book and thought 'move over Sherlock, there is a new sleuth in town.' This has to be the best book Mark Dawson has written, in my opinion, and I've read them all. I can't wait to read more in this series. I started it just after 10 pm, and didn't stop until 7.40 am when it had finished playing. It was so worth a sleepless night!

Worked so well
This was yet another surprise on the plus catalogue. This was such a great idea, the detective was flawed but as mentioned in other reviews he did remind me of Sherlock. The relationships worked and cant wait to see how the series develops.

Great Story
This was a free listen on the plus catalogue but it was one of the best books I’ve heard in ages. The characterisation was convincing, the storyline was clever and the narration was brilliant.
