About this listen
That which does not kill you... only makes them try harder...
When the body of a celebrity author, recently returned to the Isle of Skye seemingly to live out his remaining days, is found on Staffin Beach, D.I. Duncan McAdam is left with a mystery to solve.
The circumstances of his last days along with his death prove to be a mystery. How did this man meet his end on the sands of An Corran Beach at dawn? The case generates a great deal of interest in the media, putting a spotlight on Duncan and his team. Little does Duncan know how many people have been keeping secrets on the island. Secrets that some thought—and many hoped—would never come into the light.
As Duncan uncovers a darker side to his beloved Misty Isle, he finds the investigation coming closer to home. The life on Skye he escaped from all those years ago may not have been quite what he thought it was. As the investigation develops, Duncan begins to question not only who he can trust but also to what extent his own experiences have been manipulated by the deeds of the past.
What is it that happened on The Rock all those years ago that no one dares to speak of?
A Dead Man on Staffin Beach is the fifth book in the #1 bestselling Misty Isle series from the multi-million selling crime writer, J M Dalgliesh, the author of the Hidden Norfolk and Dark Yorkshire books.

Good plot, weak ending
As with most books in the series it is an easy to listen, well told story for most of the time. Good characters, many leads... all seems to be prepared for a rewarding and wistful conclusion... but once again it didn't come through. The hoped for twist never happened and it followed the same pattern as the last books towards a foreseeable ending.
it's almost as if the writer needed to cut the story short at one point because he had something better to do :D
I'll stick with the series in hope...
Mr. King was as excellent as ever, even though sometimes I wasn't sure if it was Alistair or Duncan speaking.

Good story, well narrated
I have enjoyed all of the books in this series. I like hearing about the Isle of Skye and Angus King’s narration just adds to it.
