About this listen
Four murders. Two detectives. One mystifying crime.
On Christmas Eve, DCI Mackenzie Jones is called to a shooting at a remote farmhouse. Ralph Mallender believes his father lies dead inside. When three more bodies are discovered, it's clear a festive family gathering has turned into a gruesome tragedy.
At first it seems like an open-and-shut case: a murder suicide committed by Ralph's volatile brother Cameron. Then new evidence makes Mack suspect the man who reported the crime is in fact the perpetrator.
But Mack isn't the only one with a stake in the case. Private investigator Atticus Priest has been hired to get Ralph acquitted. That means unearthing any weaknesses in Mack's evidence.
Irascible, impatient, and unpredictable, Atticus has weaknesses of his own. Mack knows all about them because they share a past - both professionally and personally. This time round, however, they aren't on the same side. And as Atticus picks at the loose ends of the case, everything starts to unravel in a way neither of them could ever have predicted....

Thanks Mark
As a huge fan of John Milton and the world that he inhabits this was a bit of a change of pace.
I was worried as to whether this would catch me and drag me in the same way.
Unfounded worries as it turns out, Atticus Priest is a compelling character in the vain of Sherlock Holmes but with a few more 'of our time' skeletons lurking in his closet.
looking forward to the next outing.

Great twist to leave you craving the next one!
As a lover of The Milton series I thought I’d give this a go, wasn’t sure to start with but was soon hooked! Great characters, a gripping plot and an irresistible hook to make sure I’m looking out for the next in the series. Did not disappoint!

Compelling.
An interesting storyline with enough twists to keep most detective fans interested. The plot was signposted somewhat but maintained interest throughout.
My only minor criticism was that the story was a little lengthy and probably could have done with slightly more ruthless editing.

Enjoyable with a few twists in the tale.
The detectives family is mentioned a lot but remains a little one dimensional could be developed a bit more.

Excellent. Thoroughly enjoyable
I really enjoyed this. Excellent characters, realistic and likeable. Pacing is good and I appreciate the way the author introduced information on each character and the right level of personal stuff for me.
Lots of twists and turns and I loved the complexity of the reveal.
