Critic reviews

"A police procedural that delights the reader with a strong sense of place. Tartan Noir at its best." (Sarah Ward, author of In Bitter Chill)

Interesting story, back story and characters make this book a lively read. It did get confusing as I listened, so many names that did not seem to fit the story, but with a happy ending all was sorted at the end. I think :-)

A Three

I found the subject matter as well as the plot very interesting and intelligent. The main characters were smart, vulnerable and real life. Collins did a remarkable job on this novel. She not only wrote a suspenseful mystery, but an educational one as well. A definite read.

Extremely Interesting

Robbing the Dead is a multiple murder suspense mystery set near the northeastern coast of Scotland. It is the first novel in the two novel (so far) Inspector Jim Carruthers series. I definitely plan to listen to Book 2 of this series. James Gilles narrates very well indeed; however, his neutral English accent is all wrong for this Scottish detective novel.

Interesting modern detective novel!
