Summary
Professor Fiona Cameron is a psychologist who uses computer technology to track serial offenders. She vowed never to work for the Met again after they went against her advice and screwed up an investigation as a result.
But when her lover, thriller writer Kit Martin, tells her a fellow crime novelist has been murdered, Fiona can’t help taking an interest. With the killer striking again, Fiona is caught in a race against time.

Gripping read, loved it from start to finish
Couldn't stop listening from the very beginning. Great voice for the story and a plot I didn't guess which makes a nice change.

Riveting
As always with Val McDermid's books, I was gripped by the story from start to finish. The characters are well-rounded and display the fine sense of humour I have come to expect from this author. My only small gripe would be that I could have done without some of the all too graphic descriptions of what happened to the victims. It definitely didn't put me off the book though. Fabulous as ever.

Good story
Usual good story, narration let down by a very poor Spanish accent. Sounded more like a Mexican than a Madrileño.

Good story spoilt by awful narration
I think my headline says it all. This was a good story - not Val’s best, but engaging enough to persist despite the dreadful narration. Ridiculous approximations of men’s voices and a strange emphasis where none was necessary. The narration was stilted and stiff with little emotion!. I did reach the end but it was difficult. I will be avoiding any books by this narrator in the future

An enjoyable if occasionally infuriating listen
A great book. It is made more difficult as a listen by the inclusion of weekly coded day entries (transcription) which are read out - why oh why? But enjoyable - even if the decisions made by one of the main characters towards the end of the book are frankly sully, and I doubt whether McDermid would have done the same if the individual been urged to 'keep away' was man not a woman - a woman would have been just as useful!

The worst male accents ever
A bizarre story plot which I could have coped with but Kits accent was just terrible.

Rather long!
I always enjoy this author, and I did read this to the end. However I did think it was a bit far fetched, and a bit too long.

Good Story, Good Reader
Wiiiiith a couple of boggles on pronunciation of Scottish things, really surprised that people still get ‘Kirkcaldy’ wrong. Less surprised at the odd emphasis on ‘Moray’ and ‘Lovat’ , and can’t help but feel research would have been better than guessing.
I can forgive the author taking liberties with the geography around Lairg, but did I really hear ‘machair’ above Loch Shin?
I know these are narky things, but they do puncture the immersion.
