About this listen
Glasgow's citizens are in a celebratory mood for the annual West End Festival parade. But beneath the jovial surface lurks something darker. A confused young woman is found wandering among the stilt walkers and jostling crowds, claiming to have been abducted by aliens.
Before DCI Anderson and DI Costello can investigate further, a body is discovered, and it becomes horrifyingly clear that a depraved killer has taken advantage of the busiest day of the year to carry out a gruesomely macabre plan.

Critic reviews
Praise for Caro Ramsay:
"Brilliant in twisting the tension tauter with each page." ( The Guardian)
"Brilliant in twisting the tension tauter with each page." ( The Guardian)
"Masterful writing, vivid characters, and a highly imaginative, terrifying, and byzantine plot." ( Booklist on The Tears of Angels)
I also felt this was a bit judgemental and over dramatic. Not my favourite I have to say.
Gruesome, don't listen before sleep like I did 🙄

There were sub-plots which could have been developed further,to add some weight to the narrative, particularly the one about the care of the elderly and the illegal practices in the care home. This part of the book, too, reached the realms of fantasy with the hidden dormitory. I could not help but notice some "lazy" writing throughout the course of the novel.
The extraordinary and fantastically gruesome ending was almost predictable, as was the identitiy of the murderer.
Completely unbelievable plot
