About this listen

Detective James Corstorphine’s blood ran cold. His wife never left her clinic door unlocked. Inside, her receptionist sat bound and gagged, tears streaming down her face. “He’s taken Shamila.”

But Shamila’s abduction is just the beginning. When human remains are discovered dressed as a scarecrow in a Highland farmer’s field, Corstorphine realizes the cases are connected. The victim worked at Carstairs State Hospital–the same institution where Shamila once treated the criminally insane.

As Corstorphine traces the killer’s obsession with Shamila, another body is found–a young woman strangled in the village, her face hidden beneath a scarecrow’s mask.

With the ancient festival of Samhain approaching and shadows lengthening across the glens, a book of cryptic clues arrives at Corstorphine’s door. As Corstorphine races to decode the killer’s macabre messages can he save Shamila before she becomes the final victim?

An atmospheric binge-worthy Scottish crime thriller from CWA New Blood Dagger Longlist author Andrew James Greig. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, Ian Rankin, and Ann Cleeves.

I love the descriptions of the wonderful Highland scenery. The humanity and caring displayed bt the small tight knit team of officers as they unravel the complex plot. I am really looking forward to listening to the next book in the series.

Another brilliantly written and narrated story in this excellent series.

I get bored very quickly with books, mostly if they go off on too far a tangent or waffle too much. This is the third book of the series ive listened to and ive been hooked from beginning to end. I would recommed these books to anyone who enjoys crime and thriller. Will be starting the fourth tomorrow. Brilliant narrating too which is always a bonus.

Phenomenal writing.

I absolutely love and listen to most of all Scottish crime thrillers. This series has me completely hooked.
The story lines are so unique and keep you guessing and of course the superb Angus King is the narrator ❤️ A truly wonderful new series I have only recently come across because I follow Andrew James Greig on audible. Highly recommend a listen!

Another excellent story with themes from the previous books running through. Scarecrows and murder, kidnaping and psychotic episodes making it a very strong story. Cant wait for the next one.
