About this listen

A treasure to die for?

In their most gripping case yet, Freya Lockwood and Aunt Carole are back in a race against time set in the haunting Scottish countryside. The heart-pounding and compelling third instalment in this cosy crime series, perfect for fans of The Celebrity Traitors and Antiques Roadshow, with the suspense and thrill of Knives Out.

A mission to recover stolen art turns dire when one of Freya and Aunt Carole’s team members, Bella, disappears into the shadows of the frozen, snow-tipped and mysterious Scottish hills. And when a discovery of ancient Scottish silverware is linked to the murder of a laird – with their colleague as the prime suspect – the intrigue deepens.

Surrounded by snow and secrecy, they must unravel a cunning plot and find their friend before isolation – or the killer – claims them all.

Where is Bella now, and is she safe?

Loved the characters as they are all so different. All stories can be made or ruined by the narrator but Emelia Fox brings her excellent acting skills to make to make this a great listen.

Great story with an excellent narrator

I love this series and it’s read by the perfect narrator. The characters are building well over the three books with room for more to come. The story was well crafted. A good balance between keeping you guessing all the way through and an intricate solution. Bravo!

Joy fest

This third book in the series progresses the relationships introduced in the earlier books and the mystery unfolds, as always with a link to Arthurs notebooks. Very much wish I had just read the book, rather than enduring the audiobook though. The reader articulates every word very clearly, and provides distinctive voices for all the characters. However, unlike many crime novels, this series has more narration than dialogue, and the reader's delivery of narrative is really flat and lacking in energy or natural inflection. I had this lined up as my listen on a long drive and had to turn it off because it was so soporific, silence was more stimulating. This audiobook nearly killed me! 😆

Do not listen when driving!
