Summary

The serial killer he couldn’t catch is dead....

Can DI Rob Marshall save his last victim before she dies too?

Met cop DI Rob Marshall is hot on the trail of the serial killer known as the Chameleon, who has abducted, tortured, and killed a series of young women in Northwest London. As they close in, the Chameleon—who switches identity to get close to his victims—shoots Marshall’s partner and escapes.

But when the Chameleon’s body is found two years later, Marshall must return to his home town of Melrose in the Scottish Borders and face the tragedy that’s haunted him for 20 years and made him leave in the first place.

The Chameleon’s final victim is still missing–can Marshall unpick the Chameleon’s latest identity in time to save her from a lonely death?

The Turning of Our Bones is the first book in the DI Rob Marshall series, starring a haunted detective who masks his trauma with biting humour. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride, JD Kirk, and LJ Ross.

I have to say this was a well written by Ed James, great characters with scope for another story or 2. my favourite narrator Angus King has done a fabulous job in the telling of the story (as always ). ROLL ON BOOK NUMBER TWO PLEASE.

Highly recommend this book

The narration by Angus King is excellent and helps the listener to distinguish between the different characters. The story is ‘page turning’ and clips along very quickly - I didn’t realise the importance and relevance of the recovery of computer files until the very end, Well done. If you enjoy books by JD Kirk you will enjoy Ed James. I have to admit though that the absolutely best aspect of these books is Angus King, he has the narration nailed perfectly! Oh, and I must add - I am not related to either the author or the narrator!

Good

This was a really good start to a new police detective series. It’s not fast paced but still enjoyable. Really good narration.

Story good, narration excellent!

Having the perfect narrator elevates a good book - this is Angus King at his finest. It will be interesting to see how this new series develops.
