Summary
Helena Flemming has fallen out of love with John Eisenmenger and wants their relationship to end. Eisenmenger is devastated and finds solace in returning to his life as a forensic pathologist. His first case reunites him with DI Beverley Wharton; a young petty criminal is found stabbed and the obvious suspect is a man who had threatened to kill him just hours before. There is pressure on Beverley to close the case. However, she is not so keen to follow orders, especially when Eisenmenger discovers that the weapon is a surgical scalpel. With all this going on, the accidental death of a motorcyclist seems trivial, except that the body has one too many organs…

Intriging story but too many similes
I've been listening to this series one book after another in chronological order. At first I found the sardonic asides and numerous imaginative similes enjoyable, but after several books the novelty is beginning to wear off and I feel the author overdoes it such that it becomes tiresome: less is more as one of the characters says in this book. Nevertheless, so far he has managed to create some intriguing stories that make good novels even though they do often depend on improbable coincidence and repeated jeopardy for Eisenmanger, Flemmeny and DI Warten. In real life the three of them would be brain-damaged the number of times they've been bashed about!
Sean Barrett's narration is one of the reasons I keep listening.

Rinse repeat
What was most disappointing about Keith McCarthy’s story?
Felt very much like McCarthy had run out of ideas with the whole Helena plot which really stretch credibility and took away from the whole story which had promise.

Stop persecuting Eisenmenger!
In this book I feel that McCarthy is getting bored with his creations. I have absolutely no problem with any fate that befalls the astoundingly tedious Helena but does he have to persecute poor blameless John so relentlessly and where is Beverly's vicious wit?
An excellent plot but tying Helena into it personally stretched credibility too far. He should have consulted me, I can think of myriad ways to deal with her!
I will promptly download the next one though .

Good, if a little predictable
It's a little disappointing really, simply because of its predictability. A decent enough storyline, I did think there would be a bit of a twist towards the end but it never came. The whole premise was obvious from the start. Excellently read by the great Sean Barrett as usual.
