About this listen

Eric Chalmers is one of the most popular teachers at Muirpark Secondary School in Glasgow. Gentle and kind, he is the person the students come to when they want to confide in someone. So when precocious teenager Julie Donaldson accuses Chalmers of rape, the school goes into shock. How could a deeply religious family man like Chalmers do anything like that?

With some students and teachers supporting Julie and others standing by Chalmers, life at Muirpark is far from harmonious. And then things get much worse - Julie Donaldson goes missing, and the police are called in.

For DCI William Lorimer, this is the second missing person case in a week. He's been having sleepless nights about a toddler who has been missing for several days - with each day, the likelihood of her being found alive diminishes. Julie's disappearance adds a further burden to Lorimer's already overstretched workload.

With hope fading, it becomes a breakneck race against time to find both missing girls.

Still enjoying the series. I like the continuing story of Maggie and Bill. The murder mystery is something I really enjoy.

Enjoying the series.

I love Alex Grey's books having read them all until Glasgow Kiss which since I joined Audible I decided to listen to as my first 'paid' by credits purchase.

Unfortunatly I ended up feeling like a detective trying to figure out the story as bits were repeated and at one time a murder was discussed which was the first time it had been mentioned!

There was also an interview being held in the police station by DCI Lorimer and the next paragraph Mrs Lorimer was talking to a school pupil. Never found out what happened in the police interview.

During a chapter the audio stops and a female voice says the name of the book the author's name and disc 2!!!!!!

Obviously this recording has been lifted from a disc recording but paying £8.99 for such a badly edited edition is disappointing. I had to rewind it so often I kept thinking I had missed bits, I had but I never found them!!!!!!

If the recording had been good I would have given 5 stars all round. Some day I might read this book again and get the full story.

Another Great Book by Alex Grey

I'm enjoying this series of DCI Lorimer stories however as with the previous book the editing is poor.

I got to chapter 20 and suddenly during Lorimer's interview with a suspect it jumps to what seems like a totally unrelated part of storyline. I thought at the time it didn't fit but carried on, if a little confused. It wasn't until I reached chapter 30 that this same paragraph/dialogue was repeated which fitted better with the plot.
Despite this confusion I did enjoy the story

Good story, Bad Editing

Love the book, and the narrator, however the recording is not good. At one stage I got a different voice saying now for disk 2 and at another stage, halfway through a chapter suddenly it skipped to a bit from nearer the end of the book. It made it hard to follow and sadly distracted from a good story, please look at re-editing this, thank You

Please look At the recording of this

Keep them coming

I have commented on technical issues on a subsequent Gray book Sleep like the dead. But this was the 1st one where the text repeated frequently but no crackling issues.
So once again buyer beware and wait for the new version to be published.
Audible customer services were very good but I would prefer NOT to be their full time 'proof listener'. Grateful for them receding my account.

Technical issues spoilt the story

It may have been my iPhone but it seems the recording was mixed up so made the story hard to follow. Chapter 23 had bits of chapter 30 in so I ended up going back on myself and checking I hadn't skipped things. Otherwise it was a good story

Odd recording
