Sins of the Dead

Rhona Macleod, Book 13

De: Lin Anderson

Narrado por: Sally Armstrong

The sins of the dead are all consuming . . . Sins of the Dead is the thrilling thirteenth book in Lin Anderson's forensic crime series featuring Rhona MacLeod.

'One of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction' – Daily Mail

While illegally street racing in the underground tunnels of Glasgow, four Harley-Davidson riders make a horrifying discovery: a dead man left in the darkness, hands together on his chest as if peacefully laid to rest. The cause of death is unclear, the only clues being a half glass of red wine and a partially eaten chunk of bread by his side that echo the ancient religious practice of sin-eating.

Called to the scene, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod is perplexed by the lack of evidence. But when another body is found near her own flat, laid out in a similar manner, she fears a forensically-aware killer stalks the city and is marking the victims with their unique signature. Even more worryingly, the killer appears to be using skills they may have learned while attending her forensic science lectures at Glasgow University.

There are signs that Rhona is being targeted, that the killer is playing with her and the police – drawing them into a deadly race against time, before the sin-eater’s next victim is chosen . . .

'The best Scottish crime series since Rebus' – Daily Record

Sins of the Dead is the thirteenth book in the Rhona MacLeod series by Lin Anderson. It is followed by Time for the Dead.

Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Martina Cole and Silent Witness.

Unlikeliness reaches new boundaries

I've been listening to all available books in this series and have found them to be entertaining. I overlook the outrageously unlikely; this is fiction. But in this book especially, the police detectives spend all their time hunting for the coroner or each other. They invariably court death, even after being tormented by deranged killers, and notably "go it alone" deliberately deceiving their friends and partners as to their whereabouts. Repeatedly. So, yes, I am a little tired of this theme. But onward....

Tired

Is anyone else tired of capable, professional women making the stupidest decisions? I know you have to advance the plot but really!?
