About this listen
When the body of Thomas Magner’s business partner is found dead in his car on the outskirts of Anstruther, all evidence points to suicide. And Magner himself, a wealthy property developer, is currently under investigation for a series of alleged rapes from thirty years ago.
In total fifteen women are prepared to go to court to testify against Magner but one by one they inexplicably withdraw their complaints until only five remain. With the CPS now reconsidering its case, one of Magner’s accusers is killed in a hit-and-run – and the abandoned car is found to be registered to one T Magner.
DCI Andy Gilchrist is assigned to the hit-and-run case and soon discovers that Magner’s murky past is very much seeping into the present. How did he acquire his wealth? How his first wife die? And why did his business partner commit suicide?
And was Magner a serial rapist in his youth? Or was he something far worse?

I have marked it down a bit as it feels like he's pushing the nastiness levels more with each book purely to shock. Also as a female reader I can't relate to any of the female characters who seem to be either brash in extreme, or cold and aloof. Though, nonetheless, I do quite enjoy Jessie who provides the comedy moments and shows a warmth in her relationship with her son. Overall though, Muir does not seem too keen on women if his characters are anything to go by!
Another gripping story

After a few duff down loads I am restored by an exciting listen. Am in very critical mode as laid low with back injury. Only thing keeping me sane is Audible!Best ever down load

Is there anything you would change about this book?
yes the characters of many of the women.Any additional comments?
This is the fourth book in the series I have listened to in a short space of time, evidence that I like the stories. However, I am writing this review only 3 hours into the book as the female characters are really getting on my nerves, to the extent I may not finish the book. I had picked up on the fact the lead, andy gilchrist, had nasty women in his life in the previous books, but put it down to the fact you were supposed to have sympathy for him. However,, it's got to the stage of the ridiculous now. These are just the ones I can remember:Ex wife - cheated on him, left him and hated him.
Daughter - spoilt brat, took mother's side and now reconciled but sulks and puts phone down to get her own way. And she is an adult.
Colleague whose name I can't recall - short relationship before she dumped him. Ended up not speaking and applying for transfer elsewhere ending on bad terms.
Cooper - married lover cheating on her husband. Treats him as some sort of male escort. Sex at her convenience.
Jessie - side kick. Very rude, aggressive and seems to suffer from Permanent PMT. Is supposed to be junior to gilchrist but treats him with no respect and orders him about like a pet dog.
Logan - this is the one who acted as the straw who broke the camels back for me. Accused him of sexual assault without reason. Meet up again in the course of a case and she is rude, arrogant and aggressive despite this being a professional meeting, him being her superior and being in the precedes of her own boss.
With the exception of one other policeman in the earlier books, none of the regular male characters are this awful. Evidently the author has only ever met haridens in the course of his life, perhaps it's him I should feel sorry for.Now I have ranted I will leave the book a few days before going back to it in the hope it is a temporary irritation. However, regrettably I think this ends my relationship with this author.
I think this author dislikes women
