About this listen
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Damage Done by James Oswald, read by Ian Hanmore. The sixth book in James Oswald's phenomenal Inspector McLean series set in Edinburgh.
Inspector McLean is back in the next gripping instalment in James Oswald's best-selling crime series. McLean must investigate the seedy goings-on of an exclusive and secretive society catering to the rich and powerful of the city. Somehow it is linked to a particularly gruesome cold case from 20 years ago - McLean's first case with the force.
The Damage Done follows Natural Causes, the R&J summer highlight; The Book of Souls; The Hangman's Song; Dead Men's Bones; and Prayer for the Dead.

Critic reviews
"Crime fiction's next big thing." ( The Sunday Telegraph)
"Literary sensation.... James' overnight success has drawn comparisons with the meteoric rise of E. L. James and her Fifty Shades of Grey series." ( Daily Mail)
"Fifty Shades of Hay." ( The Times)
"Oswald is among the leaders in the new batch of excellent Scottish crime writers." ( Daily Mail)
"The new Ian Rankin." ( Daily Record)
"The hallmarks of Val McDermid or Ian Rankin: it's dark, violent, noirish." ( The Herald)
"A good read." ( The Times)
An excellent start to what promises to be a fine series." ( Guardian)
"Classy, occasionally brutal, and with the odd suggestion of the supernatural, this will doubtless be another deserved hit. Oswald's writing is in a class above most in this genre." ( Daily Express)
I have been waiting for the dark side to make a statement and to step into the inspector's path fully embodied and unapologetically, and on the six book it finally dares to awaken and be.
All the elements of this series are here and are reloaded in a case that takes McLean in to the past and a very menacing present where he meets a truth about society and its blind compliance with evil for the sake of fitting in, not rocking the boat, looking the other way at the expense of the vulnerable.
A very enjoyable read that delivered all I wanted and gave a few unexpected surprises.

I bought this book on a daily deal and was unsure I would like it after buying another Scottish inspector thriller mid way through the series, which I did not enjoy.
As I said above it is not easy jumping into a series midway as you do not understand the principal characters fully, however this was brilliant.
Inspector McLean his life and the Scottish police he worked with were very believable and kept you wanting for more.
The supernatural spin was a complement to the new and age old crime being investigated. The story of McLeans everyday life woven through the crime story reminded me of the Michael Robotham series of Joe Mcloughlin, makes me want to listen to more in the series.
Lastly, fabulous narration by Ian Hanmore, his lovely soft Scottish accent made for a faultless listen.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
DefinitelyWhat did you like best about this story?
Even though there is a demonic undercurrent to the story, it's subtle enough to be believable!Have you listened to any of Ian Hanmore’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I have listened to all this series one after the other, they are all terrific, laugh out loud funny at times and downright gruesome in places and Ian Hanmore makes the books for me with his wonderful mellow voiceAny additional comments?
I'm hooked and hope the next one is out soon!Absolutely brilliant
