About this listen

The merciless snow of the Scottish Borders. A case that freezes the blood.

Accustomed to the bustle of London, DI Rob Marshall finds himself confronted with the unforgiving Scottish winters he had long left behind. A gruesome discovery off the high road between Stow and Lauder sends shivers down his spine–a man and a woman, both frozen to death with their wrists and ankles bound. Left to suffer by someone with a sinister motive, or simply victims of the treacherous snowstorm?

As an expert in tracking serial offenders, Marshall is unprepared for a case with no leads, pushing him to rely on old-fashioned detective work, police experience he never gained as a direct entry. Desperate to find answers, he begins to see connections–but are they real or simply a trick of his trained instincts?

Marshall delves into the society of his childhood, coming face-to-face with bitter enemies and unearthing memories he thought he’d escaped when he left the borders. But as the shadows of his past creep closer, they threaten to turn his world upside down–and prove fatal.

In this riveting police thriller, Marshall must confront the demons of his past and race against time to unravel the truth behind a bone-chilling mystery.

Like others have commented, this one wasn’t my favourite in the series so far. It felt a bit disjointed at times with random statements that weren’t clearly connected to the thread of the chapter.

However, I’ll happily listen to anything narrated by Angus King!! Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Nice story but it was all about Angus for me

I got the first two books in this series for free and my review was not the best. I decided to persevere and I am so glad I purchased this Title. The characters have evolved and the story line was much better than the previous book although yet again it was a race at the end to save yet another female. A good twist saved the day

Best one yet

I love these books so much, I struggle to read anymore but I’ve binged these on audiobooks - these are my go to ones I listen to all the time

Brilliant plot

Enjoying this series and this is a strong addition. Characters becoming more rounded as the books go on. My only complaint is the mispronunciation of the village Stow, which should rhyme with now, not no. It was the location for a lot of the action so it would have been good to say it correctly.

Strong fast moving

this book would be 10 times better if it was cut in half . the story line is not strong enough to carry it on for all that time. on the other hand it is a nice easy read.

Too long.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I agree with some earlier reviews that the book was too long for the plot. However, Angus King could make the telephone directory sound exciting so it was suitably entertaining overall - but not Ed James’ best

Wonderful narration

I couldn't warm to any of the leading characters and found the storyline to be unexciting and a touch overlong which is disappointing when I really enjoyed his other books in the series.

Unexciting

I enjoy the characters but this story was super convoluted and I was left flummoxed by the ending. So many threads to tie up at the end. I will try more as overall I have enjoyed this series.

Excellent audio book, although the village referred to should be pronounced Stow like cow.

Fantastic
