About this listen

The higher you climb, the harder the fall.

When a woman plunges to her death from Edinburgh's iconic Scott Monument, crime reporter Doug McGregor is sent to chase the story behind the shock.

But Doug is juggling more than headlines—he's also on the hunt for a notorious rapist, newly unmasked and lurking somewhere close to home. Teaming up with his trusted police contact, DS Susie Drummond, Doug uncovers a chilling connection: the victim was the daughter of a high-ranking Member of the Scottish Parliament.

As they dig deeper, Doug and Susie are thrust into a world of sinister secrets, where powerful people will stop at nothing to bury the truth. The question is–how deep are they willing to go?

Falling Fast is the first book in the McGregor & Drummond series, starring a tortured journalist and a driven detective. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride, JD Kirk and Chris Brookmyre’s Jack Parlabane novels.

I enjoyed this story I did pick because of Angus King’s narration which is always excellent
The story itself was good and I didn’t think I knew the answer with this one cos I usually guess who dunnit but not this time
I always find it strange when stories are set in Edinburgh and I know all the places - it is good to have stories set in Scotland though with a great narrator too
I’m going to listen to the next one now just one thing though I’m not sure I agree that Doug is “tortured ” ….

Very good story

A very well-crafted plot with nice twists and turns and wonderful narration as ever. Loved the politics and cover-ups within the plot and, knowing the cities well, places nicely crafted into the narrative. Most enjoyable first read of this author for me.

Gritty and real

Really enjoyable listen with excellent narration by Angus King.
Looking forward to the next instalment.

Excellent

I like the relationship between reporter and police. Story was a little gritty in areas and graphic but a good thread and pace throughout. The twist was telegraphed way back but I’ll definitely listen to the next book.

Good characters and great narration as always.

Somewhat different story making it a change to have a reporter and cop in harmony. This hack would not survive in the real world, too much like a detective because of having a conscience.
Brilliant narration from Angus King as always.

Makes a change to have a reporter and cop in harmony. Not that I think this hack would survive in the real world, too much like a detective because of having a conscience.
Brilliant narration from Angus King as always.
Give it a read, it's worth it.

Different

I didn't enjoy the really abusive language but intriguing tale. I would probably read others by the author

Great story

Coujd not get into the story it seems to keep jumping from one but to another. Could not keep up with the story.

Very confusing narrative

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Well written but story was predictable, the narrator's performance is excellent, saves the story to be honest
