About this listen

When the luxury cruiser, hastily renamed Great Britain, berths in Kinloch harbour, the pressure is on DCI Jim Daley. The UK Government are taking a high-powered group of businessmen and women on a tour of the British isles, golfing and seeing the sights, as part of a push for global trade. But when one of the crew goes missing, and an elderly local ornithologist disappears, will the pressure become too great?

The arrival of a face from the past sends Daley’s world into a tailspin. And the lives of the passengers and crew of SS Great Britain, as well as the country’s economic future are in jeopardy. DS Brian Scott comes to the fore, and replete with a temporary promotion, is once more - most reluctantly, in his case - back at sea.

Daley faces a life and death struggle, but is this his last throw of the dice?

Its difficult to review without spoiling for others. So simply put, if you love this series this book won't disappoint. All our favourite characters with a brilliant twisting plot, along with the usual light relief from Brian (although Ella Scott is my new favourite) wrapped up in the perfect narration we have come to expect from David..

Brilliant

A Breath on Dying Embers is another superb offering in the D.I. Daley series, this story centres around a ship full of wealthy business people and dignitaries being wined & dined by the government looking for trade partners. Jim Daley’s health issues bring Brian Scott centre stage with a temporary promotion and an undercover assignment onboard ship (and we know how much he loves a boat!).

I’ve listened to this whole series from the beginning and have grown to love these characters. Denzil Meyrick writes with great warmth and humour and David Monteath is the perfect narrator - a match made in heaven, so much so I hear his voice in my head when I read the synopsis!

Simply superb (as always)

However as others have said I wish they wouldn’t glamourise thuggish behaviour by the police and it be hushed up. Love the characters in this book. The humour in this book was first class. The narration was top notch as always.

Another excellent book

One of the best Audible books I've listened to and I've listened to a lot!!
The story was made so believable and in part humerous with Brian Scott and Hamish coming out with stories and quips.
I'm hoping the end of the story wasn't the demise of Daly im waiting in ernest for the next book.Thank you Denzil Meyrick .

Another very enjoyable outing for Jim Daley, Brian Scott and co, great story and characters, realism, suspense, humour and tragedy, plus a nice nod to Sandy Hoynes and the octopus from ‘Empty Nets and Promises’.

Fantastic narration from David Monteath, he really brings the characters to life.

Get me Ella Scott on the phone...

Worth it !

Book 7 in what has been a wonderful series so far! This for me was the best in the series and with Brian Scott taking a much bigger roll the humour was off the scale. Edge of your seat stuff and the ending is one of the best I’ve ever heard, so many twists, just when you think they’re done another twist that will leave your jaw on the floor.

Simply a must listen!

Wow...just wow!
