About this listen

In Glasgow, aspiring actress Jasmine Sharp is reluctantly - and incompetently - earning a crust working for her Uncle Jim's private investigation business. When Jim goes missing, Jasmine has to take on the investigator mantle for real. Soon she stumbles into a web of corruption and decades-hidden secrets that could tear apart an entire police force - if she can stay alive long enough to tell the tale...

The first of a three part series set in Glasgow and following two separate women, Jasmine, actresses, but just started working as a private investigator for her Uncle, and Catherine, wife and mother of two, a driven and ambitious police detective. Both following totally different crimes find their lives converge in the dangerous Glasgow gangland. This is a superbly written Tartan noir, including the city of Glasgow in a similar way used by Ian Rankin. It is dark, violent and felt very realistic, the characters well developed, the plot twist and intriguing.
However, with a large introduction to numerous protagonists, I was glad that I had already read book 3 in this series so was already acquainted with some of them.

Narration was by Sarah Raven, her reading full of expression, her Scottish accent not so overpowering to be inaccessible, and her voicing of the individual characters good. She made the story line more accessib!e to thereader,especially in the first quarter of thebook.
Belonged books are always so!idly satisfying g to read, and this mystery thriller was no exceltion.

"The biggest gang in Glasgow."

I really enjoyed this listen. It introduces us to 2 very different female characters who are struggling to do everything while living in Glasgow. Their stories could be standalone but the mingle well. Excellently read by Sarah Barron.

Great enjoyable unputdownable book

I don’t know what I was expecting but this is by far CBs best yet - and it’s a series too! Narrator was excellent and I can’t wait to get started on vol2.

Really good

Storyline was quite interesting but not really engaging and the narration didn’t do it for me. Found it a bit monotonous and lost attention so had to rewind to listen to quite a few parts. Obviously, this is personal preference.

Ok

Liked how it all tied in- a good enough listen - some of it was a bit far fetched but on the whole decent

Twisting plot

The author, first, pedestrian, predictable, cliché-ridden.......sounds a bit harsh, how about fails to hold the reader/listener's attention?
Sarah Baron, well, some narrators have the uncanny knack of a different voice for each main character, I can be 5 minutes into a new chapter before I realise Jasmine is back and the female DCI has debated the existential possibilities of the villains possible reactions or non-reactions.
The book drags, some well written insights mired in verbal diahorrea.
Niver agin.

Don't worrry, the bodies are buried very slowly !

this was entertaining enough but something in me gets despondent when I have to deal with yet another vaguely incompetent and ditsy female character who saves the day despite her shortcomings.
could we have a vaguely stupid and bumbling man for a change?

not a Glaswegian Rebus by a long shot!

Gritty and intriguing

Fast paced and exciting with characters you care about - excellent narration too - off to get book two.

Excellent story.

Whole story only works when the book is good. I think a strong edit would have done the world of good for this book.
I just found when they rattled on for entire chapters about their feelings etc completely unrealistic. I find this happens when men write female Characters. P.S. Not many clothes cause women to have erect nipples, try the weather next time.

Should have been edited.
