Good story line
Good plot with many twists and turns but seemed to take a while to get going. When it did it was good but it did change direction quite a lot.

Good story
The narrator is dreadful, he overhams it, like he's in a 1920's thriller. Shame really because it's a good story.

Not the best book I’ve had
I found this book to be quite boring. I would not read any further ones

Sexist 90s detective
Honestly, genuinely can’t believe a modern woman wrote this story.
If you read this review before the story, just imagine the novel was written by a 60 year old bloke in the 90s and ignore the mentions of google, Facebook, and mobile phones. This will make it much more palatable!

1st book by this author won't be the last
excellent listen this book by Tana Collins about DCI Jim Carruthers based in Fife would definitely recommend it going to look for further titles in this series

'hero is an idiot '
I know everyone has flaws, but, at his level of seniority and experience he can only be described as a twit! yes, the other officer was a really shitty piece of work (spow), so you could say there were, "extenuating circumstances" but going for the spow over his estranged wife whilst breaking rules over interviewing alone a young woman he had the hots for, and he's a DCI......???? good narration though.

Awful stereotype
The male detective in his late 30's needs his hard drive checked. obsessed with ogling women and teenagers. The caveat of "he's just a man after all" plays through it totally detracting from the story line. I gave up after he was swooning over the mortician and her eyebrows
