When three young women are discovered strangled and mutilated in a Glasgow park, it is up to DCI Lorimer to find their killer. Frustrated by a lack of progress in the investigation, Lorimer is forced to enlist the services of Dr Solomon Brightman, psychologist and criminal profiler. Together they form an uneasy alliance. But when a homeless man is brought in for questioning, the investigation takes a bizarre turn. Soon Lorimer has to scratch the surface of the polished Glasgow art world and reveal the dark layers hidden beneath....

This book flowed really well, the story engaging from the start. The narration was excellent and added to the enjoyment.

Well worth a listen

Above average story line, well written but the narrator was in my opinion terrible, and quite distracting.

Terrible narrative

This book never got out of first gear— neither in content nor style of narration.

A disappointing choice?

I am sure that this is a great book, but the narrator was awful. His voices were fine, but the descriptive sections were unbearable. In what I assume to be an attempt to calmly move the story on, he was dull and lack lustre,. I had to re-listen to the first 3 chapters several times, to try to give a damn about what was happening. I won't now download any more. I actually didn't care by the end.

The narrator put me to sleep

Narrator could sometimes sound like the old Church of Scotland minister, somewhat depressive. Fortunately didn’t distract too much from the storyline.

Good plot

Having been an avid listener to the books of Chris Brookmyre, a lady told me at one of his signings that if I like him I’ll also like Alex’ work. How right she was. I now have a couple of years worth of Lorimer stories to get through and if they are as good as this one I’m in for a treat. One down, a couple of dozen to go.

Don’t listen to the negative reviews

Didn't enjoy narrator's voice. He made everyone sound over 70 when he spoke the voices, especially young women. So sounded a bit daft. That ruined it for me.
Can't listen to another. Maybe reading the physical book would be better

Good story, keeps you guessing.

I loved this book, the plot is interesting and complicated enough to keep the reader interested but the relationships between the characters being added depth and interest. This is one of my favourite authors and I love this series of books. I have just listened for a second time and it was every bit as enjoyable as the first time.

An excellent book

The story was good and kept moving nicely throughout the book but the narrator!! At times it was like wading through treacle. So dreary and uninspiring. I had to go back over chapters many times as I just lost interest due to the tone and pace.

Story great but dreary narrator!
