De: Marion Todd

Narrado por: Marion Todd

Don’t miss the first novel in a gripping series featuring DI Clare Mackay, perfect for fans of Alex Gray, D. S. Butler and Rachel Amphlett.

On the night of a wedding celebration, one guest meets a grisly end when he’s killed in a hit-and-run. A card bearing the number ‘five’ has been placed on the victim’s chest. DI Clare Mackay, who recently moved to join the St Andrews force, leads the investigation.

The following night another victim is struck down and a number ‘four’ card is at the scene. Clare and her team realise they’re against the clock to find a killer stalking the streets and bent on carrying out three more murders.

To prevent further deaths, the police have to uncover the link between the victims. But those involved have a lot more at stake than meets the eye. If Clare wants to solve the case, she must face her own past and discover the deepest secrets of the victims - and the killer.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Marion Todd’s welcome addition to the genre feels like a breath of fresh, tartan noir air.” (Scottish Field)

Already on book 8

I am so happy to have found this author with books 1-8 already on audible. I am hoping book 9 will come out in jan 2025 when i renew. The author is the narrator and does a fantastic job. Scottish is one of the hardest accents for me (american) but i understand marion very well. Think sean connery. There are books (my favs) where i just ‘fall’ into . . meaning they keep me engaged all the way through. I get some of the comments on too much police procedural stuff but i find it fascinating. The character claire has a nose for worming out what may be happening. Her sidekick chris doesnt always. Finding out what happened is different than building a police case. Now i realize how hard a police job is to do correctly and with a lot of gray areas in-between. All of the books could be read out of order so far but why would you want that? Each case is different and interesting. Real up to date stuff.

Charming

Enjoyed the charming accent of the narrator. Straightforward crime story set in eastern Scotland. Good strong characters.

Good story

I think I have found a new series to listen to. Good characters, good story. The narration was excellent. I think I enjoyed it even more because the author narrated it. Just downloading the second book now.

Intriguing

love it. was both compelling and complex enough to grab and keep attention. being narrated my author was a plus as she provided the inflection needed for believability.

Really enjoyed this book

Found the story very captivating and enjoyed the twists and turns. Absolutely enjoyed the narrator. She was perfection.

Excellent Scottish Procedural - Super Narrator

This is a great police procedural. The main characters are well developed, the story engaging, and the plot honest--no magic and no deus ex machina ending. Although I am wary of authors who narrate their own work, this was really, really good. I would like to hear her do other books as well. Will be looking forward to Detective MacKay's next case....hope it is soon.

Amazing narration by the author!

There have been (a few) reviews that were critical of the author doing the narration of this book. I am flabbergasted by that--as she is possibly one of the top 5 narrators I've heard in over 10 years of listening to audible books! Marion Todd--may I tell you that you have done a wonderful job of reading the excellent book that you wrote! I think the book is very good--and someone mentioned "flat" characters. I think we are not reading the same book. The characters are very well fleshed out--the ones who matter have back stories, interact with each other and I feel nothing is lacking. And I'd like to add another thing. In many books of this sort, female leads often act foolishly, make silly decisions that lead to disasters. That is not the case here--we have a well-rounded DI, Clare McKay, who has her own personal issues, but who is competent in the job she is doing. I really like that. In fact, this is just a really good listen. I am going to find the rest of the books in this series, right away. But I am shaking my head, wondering how people can be critical of some of the best narration I've ever listened to. Marion Todd--if you get tired of writing books, you can read anything--and I will listen to it. It is pitch-perfect. I know some authors are very bad at reading their own work--but nobody--nobody--could possibly read this book better than it's author does.

Great start

Marion Todd writes a great book. The story was on point and I love Benji.

thoroughly enjoyed the story

the storytelling was excellent, believable. The authors narration strengthened the believability that the story was based on an actual crime situation.

Surprisingly Good

I had my doubts about this title. So many of the female protagonists in this genre are not the intelligent leaders the narration purports. Then there's the narrator. I usually avoid any title read by the author because they rarely have the skill to do it properly. But the main character of this novel was strong and up to the task, standing her ground for what she believed. Even more surprising was the excellent narration by the author.
