    Description

    On a remote Highland mountain, the body of Elaine Buxton is burning. All that will be left to identify the respected lawyer are her teeth and a fragment of clothing. In the concealed back room of a house in Edinburgh, the real Elaine Buxton screams into the darkness.... 

    Detective Inspector Luc Callanach has barely set foot in his new office when Elaine’s missing persons case is escalated to a murder investigation. Having left behind a promising career at Interpol, he’s eager to prove himself to his new team. But Edinburgh, he discovers, is a long way from Lyon, and Elaine’s killer has covered his tracks with meticulous care. It’s not long before another successful woman is abducted from her doorstep and Callanach finds himself in a race against the clock. Or so he believes.... 

    The real fate of the women will prove more twisted than he could have ever imagined. Fans of Angela Marson, Mark Billingham and M. J. Aldridge will be gripped by this chilling journey into the mind of a troubled killer.

    A great disappointment

    I'm always in search of new police procedurals with well-developed characters, an interesting plotline, and a great ending. This is none of the above. The characters are wooden and not very good at their jobs. Far too much minute descriptions of torture and we're asked to believe that strong, accomplished, and resourceful women become helpless pawns. I don't ever want to read this author again.

    Another Series to Dive Into!

    If you are a fan of Scottish or English police procedural, then Helen Fields and her DI Luc Callanach will provide the thrills you seek! Exceptional writing and narration create enthralling characters and a story that moves quickly. Highly recommended.

    All around great.

    I found this author during the recent sale. It was a very good story and I liked the characters. There is some mystery regarding the backstory of the lead and I look forward to hearing more about him. I've already purchased the rest of the books in the series since they were on sale. I have high hopes for this author!

    This made my skin crawl. So disgusting !

    I got through chapter 4 and I couldn't listen to the deranged character torture some anymore. The main character doesn't have a single redeeming quality as of chapter 4.

    A perfect thrilling audiobook!

    Helen Fields, thank you for creating wonderful characters and a tense, smart, darkly imaginative thriller that I found nearly impossible to put down. The story is masterfully performed by Robin Laing, an incredible reader and accomplished actor who brings each character to life in the most believable way and never makes women’s voices sound nasally or false the way many male readers do. I am now a fan of both Fields and Laing and am ready for more! So grateful to have found this audiobook.

    Good Story

    The story was good but the narration was distracting. Flat and unemotional when needed. Accent good

    Like Roy Grace? You’ll love Ava Turner & DI Callanach too!

    This series is a bit gorier than Peter James’ Roy Grace series but the characters create the thread that weaves it all together. Don’t hesitate - you’ll be hooked too

    Great story but narrator kept losing me.

    This is well-written police-procedural. The characters have depth and I’d like to hear more about them. My issue was the narrator whose pitch varied way too much. Each sentence trailed off to an almost whisper and I missed a lot of what he was saying. I listen while I run or walk and can’t keep adjusting the volume so it was very frustrating. I enjoyed the story but I’m not sure I’ll get the next in the series.

    Hold on, there are no seatbelts for this ride. It’s over the top with details of brutality to women.

    It’s very graphic, but, we’ll written. Let’s see what the next book has to offer….

    Great thriller, great speaker

    Incredible book. Really well written, couldn't put it aside. The speaker is very talented in creating all the different accents and voices. Love the Scottish accent.

    ich kann dem Sprecher leider nicht lang zuhören.

    Empfinde den Klang der Stimme als sehr unangenehm.

    Über die Story kann ich nichts sagen, weil och aufgrund dessen nicht folgen konnte und nach 2 h abgebrochen habe.

    sickening

    The detective part is good. But the criminal story is extremely disgusting. Dying babies being nothing but a side dish and claiming being against abortion makes people automatically aggressive Christians (surely news has reached even Great Britain that there's more than black and white to that matter...) one wonders how disturbed a female writer must be to come up with such ideas. Made me seriously sick.
    Worst writer ever.
