Summary
If you made a mistake that took someone's life, you'd remember it...wouldn't you?
After a tragedy rocks the community of Promise Falls, Cal Weaver is asked to investigate the threats being made to the accused's family. He's heard all about it on the news: the young man who drank too much, stole a Porsche and killed a girl, and who claimed afterwards not to remember a single thing. The whole town is outraged that he got off lightly, but for reasons Cal can't explain he accepts the job. Then Cal finds himself caught up in a vicious revenge plot, chasing someone set on delivering retribution. In Cal's experience, it's only ever a matter of time before threats turn into action....
A gripping thriller packed with scandal in a small town, from the master of the twist you never saw coming - international best seller Linwood Barclay. Read by Jeff Harding.

good story
this kept me company during a long drive. good story that kept me interested.
it alludes to the other books in the series, a bit irritating if you've not read them (a long time ago) but not enough to cause gaps in the story telling.
I loved the twist towards the end as I wasn't expecting it but I did work out who it was at the time.
narration was rather confusing as the 'voices' of the different people were often the same or so similar to be indistinguishable
I may go back and revisit the other books in the series 👍🙂

"It's 2 in the morning, but just one more chapter'
Would you listen to Parting Shot again? Why?
Definately, a strong storyline, very believable characters and fast paced novel
What did you like best about this story?
When Duckworth found out what his son had tattooed on his arm.
What does Jeff Harding bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Wonderful voice, has the right blend of authority, excitement and ability to make so many characters sound like individuals
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The ending, that really got me, didn't expect it, but thinking about it, it was the only way to finish it.
Any additional comments?
Only the second book I 've listened to, but he has become one of my faviourite authors. Highly recommend this book

Slow-Burner
A slow burner at first. Really takes a while to get going. But once it does... vintage Barclay. Still leaves a few loose ends dangling as well, a possible prelude to another Promise Falls novel perhaps? Good characters and plotting and very good narration (great job, Jeff Harding!). Worth the credit.

Strong Story Line
Another excellent story from Promise Falls, with the very ordinary detective Barry Duckworth putting it together with stolid determination. Cleverly worked storyline , with Cal Weaver solving the underlying crime, although the two characters don't come together until the end. Another great reading by Jeff Harding.
