About this listen

St Andrews, Scotland: When a woman's eviscerated body is found on the golf course close to the Fairmont Hotel, DCI Andy Gilchrist and his associate DS Jessie Janes are assigned the investigation. But the post-mortem examination uncovers a shocking detail that must be kept from the public...

Who could carry out such a brutal murder? And what is the significance of the gruesome trophy?

When DNA uncovers links to a murder committed thirty years earlier, Gilchrist fears a killer of old has resurfaced, or worse, a debut serial killer setting out to learn his murderous trade. The hunt for the killer forces Gilchrist down a dangerous path that puts his and Jessie's lives in danger, and ultimately leads them to a mind-playing madman who would rather kill again than go to prison.

As Gilchrist homes in on the murderer, he finds himself relentlessly drawn into the killer's mind games and a desperate fight for his life, in which there can only be one winner.

Has Gilchrist finally met his match?

Continuation of characters lives

Jess too aggressive and became main character. Not many likeable traits. The Main character disliked due to poor care of dying wife, leaving her all day long, pretty useless at personal relationships but even that sinks low. Adult children not that relevant.

Excellent narration

A few twists and turns although climax petered out a bit. Well narrated as usual in this series, probably more to come in this series yet.

Very honest showing the flaws of characters

Wow - is Frank preparing us for Gilchrist’s retirement ?
I was shocked at the ferocity of the end towards our favourite characters .
Another excellent twisting and turning tale.
Next one on the way …. I hope so.

Intriguing!

A fabulous story with all of the usual likeable characters. Full of twists that keep you trying desperately but unsuccessfully to work out who had done what. This series never fails to grip me and send me on that emotional rollercoaster! I'm already looking forward to the next installment!

Excellent

A complicated plot with a few gruesome details but it rattled along with a great storyline and decent sprinkling of humour. Very well read too.

Good but ….

It’s a good story but unfortunately over the last two books, the character of DCI Andy Gilchrist has gradually faded into the background leaving DS Jessie Janes as the more prominent character. Fingers crossed that DCI Andy Gilchrist can return & reclaim his place.

Too repetitive and Jess is ruining the series

Far too much repetition in this book. How many times do we need to know that Andy's partner is 'just so tired all the time'. Or that Dainty is a short man. Or keep recapping on the victims injuries. And Andy seems to meet numerous people who cough up and spit phlegm. And repeated reflections on bringing up his children. And don't get me started on how often people 'chuckle'. As for Jess, I've never liked her but she seems to be equal to the main character now and is so unnecessarily abrasive, unlikeable and does such stupid things which could cause a case to fall to pieces that she's not even a realistic character now. I probably won't bother with future books unless there are a lot of changes, one of which is Jess being written out.

Not for me.

When I started these books, I really enjoyed them. Unfortunately, for me, the character of Jesse has become more and more obnoxious, and I can't listen. It's a shame.
