About this listen

A murder in a public place, a victim who hides his killer’s intent....

A German citizen is murdered in Belfast Botanic Gardens. Investigating, DCI Gawn Girvin concludes it is a revenge killing. But she draws a blank from CCTV and forensics.

The only clue is the top of a perfume bottle found at the scene. As frustration sets in, Girvin develops a hunch that by tracing the victim’s criminal connections, they’ve followed the wrong scent.

A young female university student seen nearby may hold the only key to unlocking the case. And like a bloodhound, Girvin follows the new leads.

But being ex-army, her cold demeanour is a magnet for risk takers. It means she gets results, but also puts herself in danger. And she could be charging into her biggest challenge yet.

The Perfume Killer is Linda Hagan’s debut novel.

Liked the characters and story.

Being from Belfast I was interested in listening to a story set there. So a bit confused that a Southern Irish voice was used to narrate. Street names and places mispronounced. Seems strange to me not have an actor from Northern Ireland/Belfast to narrate the story.

A good story,

I enjoyed this freebie, at times the writing was somewhat twee with the atypical high ranking female seen as a 'B!TcH (author's words). Constantly having to prove herself yadda, yadda, yadda.

For me, the biggest annoyance was the very irritating sing song voice of the Narrator. I think she may have been told it was a fairy tale story. It really was quite a silly tone when folk are being murdered. Just awful.
