About this listen

Can DI Clare Mackay unravel a dead man's secrets?

Harry Richards, a local solicitor, is found in his car, throat slit.

DI Clare Mackay is on the case. She soon learns that Harry was not the upstanding man he seemed to be. Finding the killer should be easy.

Then the wife of one of Harry's colleagues is discovered dead in her car, and Clare realises there is something more sinister at play…

Can she find out who's behind the murders before they turn their attention to her?

An utterly gripping addition to the bestselling crime series by much-loved Scottish author, Marion Todd. Perfect for fans of Alex Gray, Caro Ramsay and the Karen Pirie series.

her best on yet

I have enjoyed all the books in this series but this one is the best so far. The development of the characters is excellent I feel their personalities and there lives are evolving in each new book which I love. Keep writing Marion and I'll keep buying them.

Enjoyable listen

Have followed all this series, not too repetitive yet and good twists to the story. The narrator was excellent, no whiny stupid accents or anything.

Another great book in this series

Really enjoyed this latest book in the series. The new narrator took a bit of getting used to but she soon became the new voice of Marion Todd’s book. Highly recommend

Engaging storyline

The characters become like friends in Marion Todd's books. The plot is good, with enough complexity to keep you listening.

Great story - awful narration

As always Marion Todd writes a brilliant story - with twists and turns throughout, but why oh why aren't you reading your own stories Marion. The narrator was so bland and every character had the same voice so at times it was difficult to distinguish between who was talking to who - for me it did spoil what was otherwise a good storyline. Hence given fewer stars than if read by the author herself as in all her other books.

Marvelous story

So Marian does NOT narrate this one, I was dubious about that I admit, having loved her narration of the previous books but Helen Darbyshire does a great job here, OK, some of her pronunciations are a little 'off' or just plain weird, but I enjoyed this story far more than the earlier books which I can only put down to the narrator holding my attention better.
It's a great book, and it's well narrated, do not be put off by the new narrator.

Shame about the narrator change

I enjoy Marion Todd’s Clare Mackay series and this latest is no exception. But I am sorry that Marion Todd isn’t reading it, as she has the previous 6. As the author she knows her work inside out and has a calm delivery and voice that fits perfectly with her reassuring accent. With no disrespect to the new narrator, who I’m sure is doing her best, it’s not the same at all and something has been lost. Why someone decided to alter a really good format I’ve no idea, but I wish they’d left well alone.
I really have tried - but after hearing all the previous books nobody sounds like themselves any more (if that makes sense) and it’s all a bit breathless and jerky. I am going to return the audio version and read it on Kindle instead.

Worried at first

Not the writer/narrator... But the narration was better.. More age like of Claire.. I like that despite new stories the reminders of character stories works really well to create the continuane of loved characters.. The actual crimes are well thought out and followed through, no clumsy endings... Thoroughly enjoyed this one... Probably my favourite!
