Narrado por: David McCallion

Detective Inspector Munro is a burly Scottish policeman who doesn’t suffer fools gladly. Detective Sergeant West is an intelligent young woman, new to the force, with a lot to prove.

When a missing person case lands on their desks, Munro is skeptical there is much to it. But their investigation soon comes to some strange findings, and before long a body is found.

With a serial killer on their hands, they must act fast to trace a woman placed at the scene of the crime. Yet discovering her true identity, let alone finding her, proves difficult. And as the plot thickens they realise the crime is far graver than either of them could have imagined.

Excellent

Great writing. I will definitely order the next one. Lots of interesting characters and 0 boring stuff. So glad I found a new author that keeps and holds my attention. No whining wimps. Narration is perfect. Lately my favorite mystery/suspense writers have been a bit of a let down. On to the next.

Gruesome story

The narration is fantastic, but the story is rather gruesome. I prefer other books read by this narrator.

Grizzly story but good beginning on character building

I’ve been looking for a new Scottish police procedural and this one has promise. At least the intriguing lead detective is Scottish and he may move back north in book 2. The writing is good just not for the squeamish in this one. You’ve been warned.

Phenomenal

I started listening to this series with Terminus and was so impressed I looped back to the start and a full on audiobinge has ensued. The pace is perfect, characters captivating, storyline superb and performance phenomenal. Yet the most magnificent aspect, IMO, is inclusion in audible membership. I appreciate having access to a great author’s work unencumbered by the pesky decision “do I buy more credits to hear what happens next or do I listen to a less interesting work that is included with the [not inexpensive ] monthly membership fee?” Fact is even if the more recent installments turn out to cost me additional money/ credits, i will be highly inclined to make the incremental cash outlay due to the immersion with characters and quality of both writing and performance.

David McCallion’s performance leaves nothing wanted

McCallion is masterful. His talent kept me riveted. He brings Munro to three dimensional life.

She-

Very well written and read. looking forward to next book. don't knot what to expect.

Too sick and twisted

The detective story held my interest. I thought the characters, the humor, and the interactions of the detectives were well done. However, the alternating chapters focused on the gory plans and step-by-step actions of a sociopathic murderer were too bloody, sick, and twisted for me ever to read. I skipped those and just read the detective story.

Unfortunately I can't recommend this book to anyone, because of the chapters detailing twisted gore.

The later books in the series are a treat because of the humorous banter among the young detectives and their mentor, and their differentiation according to special abilities.

If you expect a tight, police procedural, then you probably will find these stories frustrating. Procedures are not true to life. I enjoyed the comedy, workplace camaraderie, and the mutual support among the characters as they interact. The later books are wonderful. Skip the first few.
