About this listen

The gripping new thriller in the brilliant Constance Fairchild series, from one of Scotland's foremost crime writers.

On compassionate leave following the death of her mother, Detective Constable Constance Fairchild thought renting a cottage near Aberystwyth, Wales would get her far enough from London to finally relax. But trouble always seems to find Con, and it's not long before she is cooling off in a police station cell after defending herself from two would-be rapists.

In custody she meets a young Ukrainian woman, Lila, who confides in Con that she's been forced by her manipulative boyfriend into prostitution and running drugs. Fearing for her life, she has run away from him, only to end up in the cells.

Con offers to help, but when her cottage is ransacked, and Lila subsequently disappears, she realises she's stumbled into very dangerous company. International drug smugglers and ruthless people traffickers - those who will stop at nothing to protect their secrets. Out here at the end of the line, will Con find that there's nowhere left to run?

Another masterpiece from James Oswald and brilliantly narrated by Rose Aykroyd. I really honestly keeping everything crossed that this isn't the last that we hear from DC Constance Fairchild or Madame Rose

outstanding

I thoroughly enjoyed the inclusion of myth and the supernatural. Con did irritate me at times and I certainly wouldn’t have bothered to save the life of one of the men who had been intent on rape. Loved the wolfhound.
One of the niggles was the use, I would say misuse, of the word startled. Unless correct forms of English grammar have altered since I was at school, maybe.

Loved it

So many twists and turns in the plot that I cannot predict what will happen next. Loved every minute.

Brilliant

Enjoyed this book but the author asks the reader to take a number of “leaps of faith”..the plot is unbelievable at times, but a combination of fast pace and wit still makes it a good listen.
Very good narration also.

Violent Enid Blyton!

I love beyond words the elegant mix of real and surreal that is the unique brand of James Oswald. I truly hope he never ever stops writing. Rose Akroyd is perfect as the voice of Con. Smooth and soft to listen to.

Brilliant

James Oswald has done it again! Superb mix of believable crime and sorcery. The narration and characterisation by Rose Ackroyd is bang on target. I didn’t want the story to end…..which surely is the best recommendation. Can’t wait for Con’s next adventure xxx

Con Fairchilds adventure just get better

the story on this one is one of the best yet. I love how James likes to skirt around the supernatural, and it works really well in all of his novels. the main issue with this particular recording was the absolute hatchet job that narrator does on the Welsh accent and pronunciations of the Welsh language words and place names.

Enjoyable story. butchers the Welsh language

As Usual a great story

Interesting storyline, lots of intrigue and deadly deeds. Love Constance Fairchild stories and the mysticism of James Oswald’s writing.

Another Great Read

I like James Oswalds other books, a lot. For reasons that I can’t explain I started this book without reading the first two. Big mistake on my part. The story wasn’t too bad, it didn’t grip me like his others have. In fact there were long periods of boredom usually when Con was moaning about her latest injury. It was the narration that destroyed it for me. It sounded like a 12 year old reading a set piece for her O level. Didn’t like it at all. Totally ruined it for me.
Maybe I’m getting too hard to please, but I don’t really think so.

Wow, and not in a good way
