***THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING DETECTIVE SERIES***

Don't miss the thrilling new Lorimer novel from Alex Gray. WHEN SHADOWS FALL is available to pre-order now

'Immensely exciting and atmospheric' Alexander McCall Smith

A murder on their doorstep
A case that's too close to home . . .

_________________________

The body of a young woman has been discovered in Bellahouston park, the second in a matter of months. It's clear to Detective Superintendent William Lorimer of Police Scotland that they have a repeat killer on their hands, who is sure to strike again.

Lucky for DSI Lorimer that his wife, Maggie, is miles away from potential danger, touring Scotland to promote her first book. Faced with strangers at every event, Maggie doesn't notice the quiet, non-descript man sitting in the back row.

But he has noticed Maggie Lorimer. And soon his will be a face she never forgets.

Whether you've read them all, or whether you're coming to Alex Gray's much-loved Lorimer series for the very first time, this is the perfect, page-turning winter read if you love Ann Cleeves, Val McDermid or Ian Rankin.

Narration has been poorly edited . Words repeated in several places. Not the standard I have come to expect.

Disappointing.

another good novel in the series, although it was a easy guess as to who was the killer from about half way through.

Good story well read

Good listen

I have read all the Lorimer novels by Alex Gray. This is my first listening experience and I was initially hesitant but I absolutely loved it . The narration was first class and I was completely immersed in the story.

Fantastic storytelling and narration

I have now listened to the whole series of DCI Lorimer books, and what an enjoyable series it has been.

My only regret is I haven't got any more now to listen to, and will have to wait for the next to be written and presented on Audible.

Narration by Joe Dunlop is as ever perfect.

Thoroughly Recommended.

A brilliant series.

I really enjoyed the previous books by Luca Veste and this began well. unfortunately it became too strung out and 30mins before the end of the book I gave up not wanting even to persevere and find out what happened. That says a lot! I got bored with it. Not like me at all as I really try to finish a book getting so far through it.

dragged on too long

I am new to DCI Lorimer and can’t believe I haven’t listened to these stories yet! Loved the plot and the characters and their relationships. There is much of life in this book that uses the detective genre as a vehicle for exploring complex issues that resonant. I shall be listening to a lot more of Alex Gray

Fantastic story

I love listening to these and have followed all the books. This is just a bit unbelievable and implausible that the characters would end up in this situation, and also the storylines seem to often revolve around central characters. I stopped listening to Patricia Cornell ( sorry if spelt wrong) as I thought why don’t you all retire and the level of serious crime would immediately drop!! Make it about others and brilliant plausible detective work!!

Great as always but slight unbelievable and implausible story with such experienced characters

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Dull, predictable plot, obvious who did what very early on, no tension. Cardboard characters - a bland, saintly wife and textbook goodies and baddies along with some generic stalker psychology thrown in. I would give it zero stars if Audible allowed me to.

Terrible…don’t waste your time

better to read than to listen - maybe it was the use of multiple accents

Oh Dear
