About this listen

On a remote Highland mountain, the body of Elaine Buxton is burning. All that will be left to identify the respected lawyer are her teeth and a fragment of clothing.

In the concealed back room of a house in Edinburgh, the real Elaine Buxton screams into the darkness…

Detective Inspector Luc Callanach has barely set foot in his new office when Elaine’s missing persons case is escalated to a murder investigation. Having left behind a promising career at Interpol, he’s eager to prove himself to his new team. But Edinburgh, he discovers, is a long way from Lyon, and Elaine’s killer has covered his tracks with meticulous care.

It’s not long before another successful woman is abducted from her doorstep, and Callanach finds himself in a race against the clock. Or so he believes … The real fate of the women will prove more twisted than he could have ever imagined.

Fans of Angela Marson, Mark Billingham and M. J. Aldridge will be gripped by this chilling journey into the mind of a troubled killer.

Critic reviews

"Must read! With nail-biting twists at every turn, [Perfect Remains] will have readers gripped from start to finish." (Closer)

"Read it in two sittings. I literally had no choice. A fast and enthralling thriller, pitting a new, very human hero against one of the scariest psychos I've yet encountered in crime fiction." (Sunday Times best seller Paul Finch)

"Without doubt, this is one of the best first detective series I have read." (Woman’s Way Magazine)

"Genuinely chilling." (Saga Magazine)

"Watch out Rebus, McRae and Perez there’s a new detective in the running to become Scotland’s fictional top cop…a real cracker of a page-turner that is truly difficult to put down." (Scotland Correspondent)

"[An] absolute corker of a debut crime novel… a brilliantly plotted start to what I hope will be a long series." (The Herald)

"A smashing debut novel." (Fife Free Press)

I bought this when it was first released and made a couple of attempts at listening to it, but the original narrator had the most horrendous French accent (reminiscent of 'Aloe 'Aloe') and it was torchure to my wee ears.

I was obviously drawn to it many times and had even bought it again with a new narrator, but I hadn't realised it until recently. When I noticed, I checked out Robin Laing version and I am now writing this 1 week and 6 books in.

Yup I love the series. Gritty story lines, relatable characters and each story builds seamlessly into the next. I feel like I know the characters, some I love, some irritate me and others that make me lol at their Scottish banter. A Scottish girl myself, I really get it.

I'm mearing the end of the series and I am excited and dreading it in equal measures. I want to know what happens to the main characters, will they won't they?? I shall say no more.

Well written and a massive improvement in narration. It always astounds me when you just know a good book is being slaughtered by the person reading it. With the best will in the world you just can't get past it and an author loses out on reaching so many listeners as a result.

Note to authors. You put your blood sweat and tears into the process of writing, producing and promoting your work, dont let it down at the point of selecting a narrator. It really can put us listeners off for good xx

What a difference the choice of narrator can make.
