About this listen

Two bodies in a burnt out love nest. A cultish lifestyle and children moulded by domination. Can Macleod unravel the Black Isle mystery before the killer dispenses judgement again?

DI Macleod heads for the Black Isle as winter sets in to unravel the mystery of two lovers in a burned out bothy. With his feisty partner DC McGrath, he must unravel the connection between a family living under a cultish cloud and a radio station whose staff are being permanently retired. In the dark of winter, can Macleod shine a light on the shadowy relationships driving a killer to their murderous tasks?

Forgetting your boundaries has never been so deadly!

I dislike's the rambling, intimate, inner ramblings of inspector McCloud (sp?). I was so bored I listened but I never liked it. The narrator is good 🤷‍♀️but the dynamic is just strange

Truly enjoy John McNab, makes me feel like I am in Scotland. Also appreciate G R Jordan's approach to the quickly changing cultural norms. Having never heard of a Bothy, I did a search and was pleasantly surprised to learn something new. I found the third book in the series by clicking on G R Jordan's name. Hope audible continues to add the remaining books in this series.

Great geography, interesting plot, unique DI

Not a bad story. Like the characters. Narrator ok. But full of many horny men.

Waiting for the next ones

As the second book in this series, I thought maybe the overstated sexism would start to dissolve as the character adapts. Unfortunately, this book too has an unusual focus on sexist vision. All of the female characters are a sum of their physical appearance and all of the men are prisoners to constant sexual preoccupation. It seems like the writer has actual skill but the sexual obsession makes me feel like I'm listening to the musings of a dirty old man. Hearing the words in the the beautiful Scottish accent also gives the impression that Scottish people are brutish, vulgar people. I'll not continue to read this series.

Weirdly sexist - takes away from the writing
