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?

I run frantically, checking everywhere, my voice growing louder, but I can’t see her bright blue eyes and heart-shaped face anywhere. Pure panic washes over me. This is my worst nightmare. Her teacher asks me if she should call the police. My heart stops. I shake my head and pretend I’ve made a mistake. I see a look of suspicion creep into the teacher’s eyes. But the police can’t know. No one can. My hands shake as I realise I’m completely on my own.

Because someone is watching Claire. Someone who is about to discover her murderous little hobby.

Katie's character is ridiculously immature!

Loved it!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Ross isn’t the only one however, character stagnation is also an issue with Katie and Max both constantly running the same dialogue re: work / life balance and being unhappy and or guilty with how they feel about it respectively. I get that this is a genuine concern for people in every day life, but it’s wearing to have it repeatedly re run by the same characters every few chapters.
I did enjoy the storyline, which was inventive and clever and although it wasn’t hard to figure out the perpetrators there were a few surprises.
Angus King’s narration is always great, though I struggled to tell his Barney from his Clive in this one, but maybe that was deliberate?!
Still good, but characters getting stale.
