About this listen
A dead cop. A damaged detective. A copycat killer on the loose.
When the chief suspect in the notorious "peekaboo cop killer" case blew himself up, almost taking lead investigator DCI Duncan Bone with him, the psychologically damaged detective thought his days on the force were over. But, when another PC is abducted and murdered in the same deranged peekaboo fashion, Bone is persuaded to return to lead the new investigation. But, as Bone and his team hunt a copycat killer, and with time running out before yet another cop is slain, Bone’s terrifying past returns to tear open old wounds and push him to very edge of the abyss.
Can DCI Bone end the killing before the killing ends him?-
Set among the dramatic hills and glens of Scotland's Campsie Fells, Dark Is the Grave is the first in a series of edge-of-your-seat crime thrillers that will keep you guessing right up to the nail-biting, heart-stopping climax. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, J. D. Kirk, Val McDermid, and Stuart MacBride.

Great Scottish murder mystery
This is a great serial killer audio and I loved the narration from Steve Worsley as well. I look forward to the next DCI Bones novel!
As a copycat killer taunts DCI Bones, he struggles to separate reality from the nightmares that haunt him since he hunted down the Peek A Boo killer. Is the Peek A Boo killer back from the grave, or has a sadistic murderer hunting down police officers taken up where Peek A Boo left off?

My new favourite author
This is the first book I read by TG Reid and it will not be the last! I just love the way he describes everything so that you feel as if you are actually in the scene…the story is so vivid. Ok there are quite a few gory scenes but the story is quick paced and interesting. By the way, the narrator Steve Worsley is excellent.

Meh… Rebus wannabe.
The story itself was OK, although even the prologue didn’t explain what had become of “the baddie”. Otherwise the story itself was OK and kept moving at a good pace. My main issue with it was the overly florid writing style… It demonstrated a lack of finesse by trying too hard to be writerly - Too much chomping, scoffing or slurping of gelatinous confectionery when ‘stuffed a whole pack of Rolos into his mouth’ would have sufficed. It was OK - Definitely not the worst thing I’ve ever read, but not equal to the best by a long way… Forget ‘must try harder’, rather ‘don’t try so hard next time’ instead.

wow!
Absolutely brilliant!!! A tad gory, but not too much, it is a page turner. Where, and when do we get book 2?

Loved it
I think I have found a new series of exciting audios to get stuck into. I loved this serial killer audio and it had great narration from Steve Worsley as well. DCI Bone and can’t wait to see what happens next in his story. In this audio he is called to investigate what it seems is a copycat killer trying to replicate the work of the man that almost killed DCI Bones. As more innocent people are taken it’s a race against time to find out who’s responsible before it’s too late. Edge of your seat stuff.

Good start to a new series
I hope there is more to come and I hope - I think there will be more- and I hope Steve Worsley narrates them.

A good start to the series.
We are introduced to DCI Bone while he is on sick leave, having been physically injured in a recent serial cop killer case and suffering from PTSD. Sounds grim, but this is told without over sentimentalising. We meet his team at the RCU and touch upon his personal life and their is a reasonable amount of background and family life for all of them to make them feel real and convincing.
The case soon becomes relevant as it appears a copycat picks up where the Peek-a-boo killer left off.
The story is well written, has a good sense of pacing and flow and enough suspects to keep you guessing. I wasn't convinced by the perpetrator or their motivation but it didn't ruin the book for me.
The Narration was very good although the gap between the chapters is irritatingly long. A couple of times I thought my phone had stopped playing and had to check. I hope this is sorted out for later books.
I will definitely be listening to the next in the series.
