About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The clock is ticking…

Detective Constable Angus MacVicar has just landed his dream job – transferred out of uniform and assigned to Oldcastle’s biggest ongoing murder investigation: Operation Telegram, hunting the “Fortnight Killer”.

Every two weeks another couple is targeted. One victim is left at the scene, their corpse used as a twisted message board. The second body is never seen again.

This should be the perfect chance for Angus to prove himself, but instead of working on the investigation’s front line, he’s lumbered with the forensic psychologist from hell. A jetlagged, sarcastic, know-it-all American, on loan from the FBI, who seems determined to alienate everyone while dragging Angus into a shadowy world of conspiracies, lies, and violence.

It’s been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the investigation’s running out of time. The darkness is growing, and if Angus isn’t careful, it’ll swallow him whole…

Very Good Thriller

Really enjoyed this listen, albeit a bit longer than expected. The narrator was fantastic and the twist at the end while somewhat expected was very satisfying. Highly recommend.

Disappointed

I was quite disappointed. This book just doesn’t compare to the Logan books. Figured out the “surprise” immediately.

Fife is a great character. Angus was OK but no Logan. The rest left a lot to be desired. Ellie was downright annoying.

I can’t decide right now if I will read/listen to the next book. I avoid American police procedurals due to the outrageous amount of gun violence. The next is set to go in the US. Will it “go American?” I found a lot of series tend to improve but I’ll definitely have to think about this one.
