About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The clock is ticking…

Detective Constable Angus MacVicar has just landed his dream job – transferred out of uniform and assigned to Oldcastle’s biggest ongoing murder investigation: Operation Telegram, hunting the “Fortnight Killer”.

Every two weeks another couple is targeted. One victim is left at the scene, their corpse used as a twisted message board. The second body is never seen again.

This should be the perfect chance for Angus to prove himself, but instead of working on the investigation’s front line, he’s lumbered with the forensic psychologist from hell. A jetlagged, sarcastic, know-it-all American, on loan from the FBI, who seems determined to alienate everyone while dragging Angus into a shadowy world of conspiracies, lies, and violence.

It’s been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the investigation’s running out of time. The darkness is growing, and if Angus isn’t careful, it’ll swallow him whole…

A great read!!

This book was very captivating, loved the back and forth with Angus & other characters in his thoughts. It was a very well thought out plot, and the characters were nicely “fleshed out”.
The sound effects were an interesting touch but sometimes a bit much.
I really enjoyed the book and of course Angus King is always a delight.
I look forward to other books by Mr MacBride. Thank you

Great characters!

Angus & Dr. Fife are both larger than life characters who play off each other like experienced actors. This is a good story that is wonderfully narrated.

His Beardiness is Back!!!

Oh, how I’ve missed Stuart MacBride!!! The characters, the descriptions (eyes like two red sphincters), the reading by the great Angus King . . . I’m here for every bit of it. More please. No one else mixes the macabre with humor so successfully. Can’t wait for the next entry.

Damn good book

I loved this book!! Great story, interesting characters that evolved throughout the story. It was very well written and included all the essential for a good Scottish detective story. A bit of a plot twist however you can see it coming yet still is so well written that you feel it. I would love an Angus and Johnathon series. The ending makes one think it’s a possibility or is it just wishful thinking. Anyway…absolutely entertaining. As usual Angus narrated with his normal perfection. I love his voice.

Intriguing

Lots of possible clues, but none that let me determine the outcome. I enjoyed this mystery and as always LOVE the narration of Angus King. He makes everything he narrates better than it would otherwise be. I do recommend this book for mystery fans.
