Political Thriller..
Carlye has multiple cases to juggle, phone hacking, murder, a missing teenager and his old nemesis Trevor raises his ugly head.
The plot , observations and characters are unforgiving, JC again exposes the unsavoury side of the politic landscape, revealing the very real possibilities that may and probably do go on in real life.
Cynical, brusque and in no way perfect Carlye fire fights between one case and another navigating a political landscape that is so self serving, and preoccupied with their own self importance and survival I had no problem in relating it to the political machinations of today.
I laughed out loud several times despite the sombre tone and subject matter,finding light relief in his outrageous observations, anecdotes and blokey humour as Carlyle again manages with regularity to find himself in the centre of several high profile cases.
There's lots going on, maybe too much, I still don't like this inspector very much but I was entertained despite this or maybe because of it.
As I've said before Joe Jameson the narrator gives life to Carlyle, and other characters, that made it credible.and easy to listen to.

Just clearing up
Very disappointing . Felt as if it was clearing up stories that hadn't been finished previously which took over the majority of the narrative from the quite promising storylines at the start. Has James Craig run out of ideas or was this just a filler? The jury's out.
