Summary
When an elderly woman is found dead at her home, newly fledged DC Kirsty Wilson is called to the scene. It appears that the woman had a mysterious visitor in the early hours of that morning - someone dressed as a carer but with much darker intentions. It soon becomes obvious that this was not death by natural causes; in fact it was murder.
Before she can catch her breath, DC Wilson is thrown in at the deep end as another body turns up. This time it's a gruesome crime scene, the victim a well-known drug dealer from Glasgow's mean streets, and there's no question that this was a brutal execution.
The two cases appear to have nothing in common, but when a second vulnerable person is murdered in their sleep, the police realise that it's only a matter of time before the next victim emerges, and Detective Superintendent William Lorimer is called in to help DC Wilson investigate.
This case is big, and it's about to get more personal than either of them could have imagined....

An Interesting Plot
As always with this series this book did not disappoint. The plot was complex and there were some surprising twists and turns before the case was resolved. I like the characters in this series and this book developed a more recent character very well. The narration was excellent and the book was very enjoyable.

An absolute waste of money
Detail is good. Detail sets the scene. Detail makes you feel, makes you smell, makes you imagine, scream, giggle or jump. Unfortunately here, the first 4 chapters are full of detail that lead you to yawn and scratch and wonder what you'll have for tea and ultimately to snooze.
I love books. I love well written books that bring people and places to life but this is simply monotonous. The earlier books are fantastic and I was looking forward to this but the irritation it has caused means it is going back for a refund.
Think how long you had to work to pay for this book. Is that length of toil worth it for what feels like never ending drudgery? Unlikely.

couldn't get into it at all. had to return it
narration was absolutely fine but after 2 hours I had to return it because I just couldn't get into it at all. I normally love books like this but this was painful to listen to due to the story

Excellent story ruined by awful narration
I have already listened to another Alex Gray book and the narration was excellent. This falls far short. It is lifeless and put me to sleep due to
It’s lack of expression. All I heard was an RP accent which was at odds with the novel itself. Would NOT recommend a book read by this narrator. David Monteath is a far better narrator and brought a depth of emotion to the characters and brought the story alive.
