About this listen

As the end of the year draws to a close, Detective Chief Inspector Sean Bracken is called to a murder scene near the Writer's Museum. The body of a woman is sitting on a bench in the square, her frozen hand holding a paperback.

The book is by famous American professor of psychology and crime writer Edwin Hawk, who has just ended a book tour, culminating in Edinburgh.

Hawk doesn't know her and thinks she may be just a fan of his.

Knowing he is the number-one suspect, he sets out to convince Bracken of his innocence. But Bracken has dealt with people like Hawk before. Is the man telling the truth or using psychology to get away with murder?

Bracken discovers the real reason the professor is still in Edinburgh, and it's not for Hogmanay. And when he discovers the secrets he's been keeping, not only could his own life be in danger, but those around him.

Bracken will have to deal with not only a vicious killer but somebody who doesn't like to lose. But Bracken has played these games before, and one of them has to lose.

And for the loser, life will never be the same again.

Good story set in a part of Scotland I know well.
Typical Carson, lots of twists and turns with an unexpected end. Worth a read.

Fast moving Carson novel, lots of twists and turns

Angus King amazing as usual. Story good&characters fun, but mostly obvious/predictable and language bit cliché/boring.

Quite Good

And for sure Angus King has a big part in it. Can’t wait to get the next part under my belt and normally I hate stories with some loose ends but in this case it will be a smooth transfer and the assurance the suspense and thrill won’t stop. A perfect match of author and narrator and the perfect location of the story for me.

It’s getting better and better

I didn’t guess who it was at all!
Just one thing it’s not pronounced Hunters trist it’s Hunters Triste as in aye
Also it’s pronounced Man’aye’acle not maniac -ale
Really mr King you ought to check the pronunciation of things!

Good story!

I have stuck with this series of books up to now in the hope that they would get better - and the fact that I love Angus Kings narration - but sadly they do not. The plot is shallow and the books seem hurried somehow, just as you think they are going to get better or go somewhere they end. I love this genre of books and listen to loads of them but this series is just lacking in substance so won't be going any further with it.

Pointless
