Two bodies in a burnt out love nest. A cultish lifestyle and children moulded by domination. Can Macleod unravel the Black Isle mystery before the killer dispenses judgement again?

With his feisty partner DC McGrath, he must unravel the connection between a family living under a cultish cloud and a radio station whose staff are being permanently retired. In the dark of winter, can Macleod shine a light on the shadowy relationships driving a killer to their murderous tasks?

Forgetting your boundaries has never been so deadly!

Poor narration really spoil it for me.

Poor narration, which led me to not fully engaging with the characters. Good story line.

The 2nd DI McCloud had me hooked from the off.

Had to keep listening. Have completely bought into these characters, plots and the setting.

Awful, painful narration spoilt a great plot and story

Awful narration - painfully drawled out total ruined this. I just hung onto the end but I’m done now 🙈

Dull with added religious fervour

I listened to these books hoping they’d be somewhere as good as I’d hoped. However the main characters dated, zealous religious and gender stereotypes left me frustrated to the hilt. The relationship between the two main characters is of some interest but it’s one sided and repetitive and becomes simply tiresome. All the stories so far revolve around sex, sexual attraction, sexual repression and male characters who make your flesh crawl as a woman reading! Save your credits and read T G Reid instead.
