About this listen

A gruesome crime scene. A dead boy with an uncanny resemblance to the son she gave up. Can Rhona MacLeod uncover the truth before powerful men bury it forever?

Driftnet is a thrilling, fast-paced crime novel by Lin Anderson and the first in the gripping series featuring forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod.

Summoned to a Glasgow flat in the early hours, Rhona is confronted by a horrific scene. A teenage boy lies mutilated and strangled, the vicious killer long gone. But her grim task of scanning for evidence becomes even more unsettling than normal. The victim bears a remarkable resemblance to Rhona herself – and to the baby boy she gave up for adoption seventeen years ago. . .

Wracked with guilt, Rhona sets out to find the murderer and discover if the young victim is indeed her long-lost child. Soon, she finds herself immersed in an investigation exposing Glasgow's dark underworld as it preys on the young and vulnerable. As the case builds, it becomes clear that some very powerful men have a lot to lose if Rhona succeeds – and everything to gain if she dies. . .

'One of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction' – Daily Mail

'The best Scottish crime series since Rebus' – Daily Record

Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Val McDermid and Ann Cleeves.

This is the first decent crime story I've read in quite a while. I loved it: characters u care about, a pretty horrible crime but not too graphic, suspense. That's all I ask, but it is not easy to find! Her books r a little shorter than some I've read, but those 12 hr books, if they're full of annoying filler such as reminders of someone's continual physical or mental pain or ruminating --u know, I can do without that drivel. I read this genre for escape, and have enough of my own pain and unwanted thoughts! Ok, so thanks to Lin Anderson for a very entertaining book and to the narrator for her lovely delivery of the story. I bought all the rest of this series available on Audible during the sale. This review is written after listening to only 2 books. Hope the magic holds.

Characters u can care about, good story, suspense
