Thea Osborne sets off to Frampton Mansell with confidence. Despite her first disastrous house-sitting venture, which drew her into a murder investigation, Thea, and her spaniel Hepzibah, are sure of a wonderful stay at the relaxed country estate of the Philipses. But it seems that she’s jinxed. Busying herself with her duties, she finds a body hanging from the rafters of one of the barns. Detective Superintendent Phil Hollis oversees the subsequent investigation and is more than a little surprised to find Thea once again at the scene.

Author condones domestic violence
Revisado: 06-21-23
Ugh, what a disappointment listen. I liked the first book in the series and bought this title because of it. Unfortunately I’ve returned this book and won’t be purchasing another. SPOILER- in the story the main characters sister gets beaten by her husband with a cricket bat. The main character goes on to think what the sister did wrong to cause this and even after seeing the injuries hopes her sister will forgive the husband. WHAT THE HECK! Such outdated and unhealthy world view. Rebecca Tope, go to a domestic violence shelter and stop writing such rubbish.

An exciting, evocative first-in-series noir novel set in 1973 Glasgow, a city on the cusp of a heroin epidemic, featuring detective Harry McCoy. When an 18-year-old boy shoots a young woman dead in the middle of a busy Glasgow street and then commits suicide, McCoy knows it can't be a random act of violence. With a newbie partner in tow, McCoy uses his underworld network to build a picture of a secret society run by Glasgow's wealthiest family, the Dunlops. Drugs, sex, incest; every nefarious predilection is catered to....

Meh, sloppy writing and storyline leaves much to be desired for. It seems that the author rushes from one violent scene into the next. It gets old real fast.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 46
In Manchester, two hardened gang members on the run take Catherine Blake and her one-year-old son hostage at gunpoint. She is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Held in a Transit van, Catherine needs a plan fast. But it means diving into her captors’ risk-drenched world, and playing them at their own game. Catherine has been through cancer, miscarriages and five draining years of IVF in order to have her son Ethan. He is the most precious thing in the world. She may be terrified out of her wits, but she’d do anything to protect him. Anything, no matter the cost. Brace yourself.

The narrator makes my ears bleed
Revisado: 11-17-19
I usually enjoy books by Nick Louth but this one is just terrible. The narrator is so monotone and speaks at this pace that’s too slow and just irritating. I had to return the book after a couple of chapter because I couldn’t stick with the actual story. I hope audible will record another copy read by someone that doesn’t sound like they are are recovering from a cold.
