About this listen

'Non-stop action, breakneck pace, deliciously suspenseful… When Shadows Fall was my first DS Max Craigie book and won’t be my last – I loved it.' Andrea Mara

'A good old police procedural… I was pleasantly terrified' The Guardian

'Bone-chilling and full of so many twists' The Sun

'Neil is the master of the crime mystery' Jeremy Vine

A TRAGIC DEATH

When the body of Leanne Wilson is found at the bottom of a Scottish mountain, it is classified as a tragic accident. There is no evidence to suggest otherwise.

A RISING BODY COUNT

Then DS Max Craigie discovers that five other women in the last year have died by falling off mountains, and something feels very wrong. They were all experienced climbers and alone when they died. This can only mean one thing: there’s a killer on the loose.

A KILLER IN THE SHADOWS

The more Max investigates, the more he believes that they are dealing with something much bigger than a lone serial killer. With five victims and conflicting clues, how do you catch someone committing the perfect crime?

Loved my latest fix from Neil. Read in one day as I couldn't put it down. Lots of laughs from Ross as usual and the narration is magnificent as usual. Storyline is good and keeps you engrossed. Can't wait for the next one 😁

I looked forward to this episode and it did not fail to live up to the previous high standard. Barney is great and now Clive looks like being a great addition. Angus King is an absolutely fabulous narrator.
Look forward to the next one but will it change now that Max is a father.

Cracking story

I enjoyed the engaging story that kept me listening helped by the exellent narrator. I got weary of Detective Ross whose every sentecne is peppered with the F word and other expletives. I guess it's realistic and that there are some foul-mouthed policemen but when the action is condensed into a book it becomes annoying. Overall a competent police procedural that's worth a lsiten.

Engaging story marred by too much bad language

Just brilliant. I was sucked into the story from the beginning. Twists, turns, discoveries. It was like being with old friends. Loved it.!

Totally Captivating.
