About this listen
When the dead body of a man is fished out of Glasgow's River Clyde the morning after an office celebration, it looks like a case of accidental death. An anonymous telephone call and a forensic toxicology test, however, give DCI Lorimer reason to think otherwise.
Probing deeper into the life and business of the deceased accountant, Duncan Forbes, a seemingly upright member of the community, Lorimer finds only more unanswered questions. What is the secret his widow seems to be concealing? Is there any reason to think that the international accountancy firm was facing financial difficulties? What has become of the dead man's protégé who has disappeared in New York? And when the firm's human resources manager is found dead in her riverside flat, these questions become only more complex - not to mention more disturbing.
And Lorimer is having to cope not only with deceptions devised to hide the facts but also with suspicions from those far closer to home....

Griping
I love this book in working my way through the season. I was, still an Ian Rankin fan and love my Rebus now I'm getting in to lorimer. I would recommend this and if you know Glasgow you are right beside him. I'm off to start book 5 ttfn.

I forgot the name of this author having read (listened) to the first three, so pleased I found this series again and can carry on with it. This one no exception to the first three very good.

WHAT A PITY
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Yes, the narration. Very poor, flat and unemotional to the point of boring.
If you’ve listened to books by Alex Gray before, how does this one compare?
I downloaded two Alex Gray, both narrated by Joe Dunlop. I think I might be interested in the plot line of the first book, but poor, dreadfully dull narration which finds me struggling to find the will to listen to the conclusion and reluctant to even bother to listen to the second book.
Would you be willing to try another one of Joe Dunlop’s performances?
Definitely not.
If this book were a film would you go see it?
No
Any additional comments?
How could anyone even think such flat, dismal narration could carry this book?

Good story keeps your interest.
Though set a decade or so ago its still relevant and stands the test of time. Well read by Joe.

An Excellent Plot
This book had a complicated plot and a large cast of characters but it was not difficult to follow the plot. The story kept my attention throughout and I did not know who had committed the crime until the end of the book. The narration was excellent and a pleasure to listen to.

Great book let down by edit
I’m really enjoying the DCI Lorimer series, but please edit out repetitions in chapter 19
