Acerca de esta escucha

Life is full of choices. Death... is chosen for you...

When the body of a missing tourist is discovered slain in the foothills of the Cuillin Mountain range, it falls to D.I. Duncan McAdam and his small team to discover how he came to be there and who would have a motive to kill him.

The summer season is a welcome distraction following a brutal and challenging winter. The Isle of Skye is booming with a revitalised tourist trade after a tough few years, and the Misty Isle is on course for its best year for visitors on record. But one person has not received the warm greeting the islanders are famed for. Here, on the inner Hebridean island, long-held secrets, past crimes and burning resentment are set to be unveiled in the most brutal fashion.

Some people come to the island to experience a return to nature, others to detach from their hectic lives seeking a simpler existence. And then there are those who wish to escape their past and begin again. These people believe they are making a fresh start but overlook one universal truth, their sins come with them... and there will be a reckoning...

The Cuillin Dead is the fourth book in the new Amazon #1 bestselling Misty Isle series from the multi-million selling crime writer, J M Dalgliesh, the author of the Hidden Norfolk and Dark Yorkshire books.

Liked it!

Good story. I did not actually know who did what, it was an original idea.

Angus King is the best.

This has been my least favorite of the series. That being said, it’s still a good book. I had a hard time keeping track of characters and the story wasn’t as interesting as previous books. And for some reason I don’t care for Grace. But I still look forward to the next book.

And, as usual, the narration by Angus King is wonderful.

Atmospheric, interesting and enjoyable mystery

This series of murder mysteries set on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, are atmospheric, complicated and satisfying. I had the added bonus of listening to the books on Audible with Angus King narrating (yeah). The books have a theme in that the murders all occur different, remote and rugged settings. The 2 main police detective characters are pretty well fleshed out and Duncan, the DI who returns to his hometown is a complex person. The relationships with his family and previous friends are strained. I felt that the previous books all showed predominantly unhappy relationships and marriages. This book is better but life on the island seems bleak for locals. The plot of The Cuillin Dead is interesting with a tight group of buddies having a bachelor trip but events from the military lives of several characters start to impact them. There are some really good secondary bad guys like Charlie and Axel. They are enjoyable. The descriptions of the island and the challenging terrain and weather that the police have to deal with make the story even better.

Great mystery. Interesting story with an unique plotline

Found the book to be a bit of a slow start though once the story started going, it became hard to press pause. This book had a lot of twists and turns and the ending was quite a surprise. Well worth the listen. Really looking forward to the next one

Use a thesaurus

Good story, love the insights into Skye. However, I encourage the author to find other words for pensive and pensively. Throughout the series, those two words occurred with very noticeable frequency. Surely a writer of this calibre has other words available. I'm quite sure the editors do.

A nice book

I like this series very much, and I have read many books by this author. Both on paper and on audible. The voice actor made some odd choices on voices. Some were so slow and stupid sounding that I skipped to the next chapter. Surprising, because I think in general the Narrator is very good.
My only complaint about what is generally an enjoyable book.

Duncan keeps truckin.........

A bit of a different tale in the series. The others were intimately immersed in the weather of the Isle of Skye, this one not as much. Rather it was more of a straightforward police procedural albeit a good one.

A good mystery where Duncan and team had to cut away at the layers of the mystery. But cut away they did until finally unraveling the truth.

The weather of Skye did play more of a part in the end.

Still, it is a good story in the series.
