About this listen

A violent drunk with a broken heart, Mackie looks for love in all the wrong places. When two hit men catch him with his pants down, he barely makes it out alive. Worse still, his ex-gangster uncle, Rab, has vanished, leaving him an empty house and a dead dog.

Reluctant PI Sam Ireland is hired by hotshot lawyers to track Rab but is getting nothing except blank stares and slammed doors. As she scours the dive bars, the dregs of Glasgow start to take notice.

DI Andy Lambert is a cop in the middle of an endless shift. A body washes up, and the city seems to shiver in fear; looks like it's up to Lambert to clean up after the lowlifes again.

As a rampaging Mackie hunts his uncle, the scum of the city come out to play. And they play dirty. It seems that everyone has either a dark secret or a death wish. In Mackie's case, it might just be both.

This quirky tale was left vacuous by the dreadful Scottish and other accents. I couldn't visualise a single character and at times couldn't understand what they were saying. And I'm Scottish.

Ruined by the appalling accents

Loved the story. Some of the accents were a bit inaccurate (I live in Glasgow) but I was very quickly hooked on the plot. Great use of dark humour. Can’t wait for the next one.

Exciting and different

I am so glad Audible will refund if you don't like a book because this has been sent back. The story is just silly without the humour. The characters are just not sympathetic or believable. How does a small time crook not be affected by being shot. How does he also use a gun to kill someone for the first time without being affected by that. How does this unsympathetic crook persuade a professional psychiatrist to stitch him up and not report it.

I felt sorry for the readers. Both seemed to be trying hard to make the material entertaining but I thought the effort was obvious.

Not funny, not entertaining, not believable

As a resident Glaswegian, I found the narrator's attempt at a Glaswegian accent so ridiculous that I couldn't listen for more than a couple of paragraphs. Can't comment on the merits of the book itself as i couldn't bear to listen to anymore but if it reflects the standard of the narrator, then it will be equally painful.

I lasted 50 seconds listening to that and have to turn it off, those accents are atrocious and don't actually make any sense. There's not a chance in hell the guy is Scottish, doesn't even sound like English is his first language ffs.

Gutted as thought this was going to be decent, it's my first audiobook, and will be my last after that! I'll stick to reading the words on paper thanks.

Howlingly bad accent ... avoid if you don't want a migraine or don't have a translator on speed dial
