About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Gathering Dark by James Oswald, read by Ian Hanmore.

A truck driver loses control in central Edinburgh, ploughing into a crowded bus stop and spilling his vehicle's toxic load. The consequences are devastating.

DI Tony McLean witnesses the carnage. Taking control of the investigation, he soon realises there is much that is deeply amiss - and everyone involved seems to have something to hide.

But as McLean struggles to uncover who caused the tragedy, a second crisis develops: the new Chief Superintendent's son is missing, last seen in the area of the crash....

Brilliantly plotted and utterly compelling, this is the gripping new novel in the best-selling Inspector McLean series.

good

This was probably the most overly supernatural of the lot, but I'm ok with that. I liked it. It felt like a "mythology episode" (to make an X-Files reference, heh), where we learn more about the fictional world in which it's set, and get a few clues about the nefarious secret societies hinted at in previous books.
The main mystery was solid, and on the personal-lives-of-the-characters front... dang. Will McLean ever catch a break? Seem like every book ends on an Emma based cliffhanger.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
