🎧I had the audiobook read by Eilidh Beaton who does a great job with the narration. 

The second book to feature Saul and Blue, the first being Into the Dark. 

A crime based thriller where everyone has secrets and a dark past. The  Detective Saul Anguish is working with Blue a forensic linguistic expert. 

Young couple Missy and Fox are going all out to be infamous with their crimes, Bonnie and Clyde wanna be’s. It’s not long before they cross paths with the Hardwicke family who set off for the Highlands for a much needed holiday. 

This grabbed me from the very beginning with a really strong hook. The mother has an impossible decision to make. 

What can I say about this book, I’ve read several by this author and this is hands down my favourite. The characterisation is superb. It has a good emotional depth. It’s beautifully written, I defy you not to be moved by this storytelling. 

We have from 3 perspectives, Missy and Fox the antagonists, the family, and the police. I would say that the family are more centre stage than the police. 

There’s so many twists, turns and reveals, there’s never a dull moment. It put me in mind of the style of one of my favourite authors Belinda Bauer. 

I absolutely loved it, the narrator adds even more to it with a great performance. This is in my books of the year.
