About this listen

Some cases should never be reopened…

When a body is discovered during the building of the new Govan-Partick Bridge, it forces the reopening of a case that DCI Lomond would rather forget.

Love this series!

I really enjoy this series. It is great to hear a story set around the area I live. The main characters are very likeable and believable, which promotes connection. I felt, however, that this book could have been longer in order to close some gaps. Angus King's narration was perfect as always. I look forward to the next in the series.

Way too short

Love this series and the narration is spot on, however this book felt rushed. It didn’t really develop and the story sprinted to an unsatisfactory end. Still enjoyable, but not great.

Another good addition to the series.

I really enjoy the Lomond series but felt the ending was rushed and left too many questions.

Good Book

I have been enjoying this series very much and although this was a good book, it lacked something in comparison to the previous ones. Having said that, I still recommend this series.
Narration by Angus King is top notch as always.

Like a short story!

It was a great basis for a story, and felt like it was opening up by midway, but then zoomed to the ending. Compacted. Bit disappointing. Half the length of the second book.

Too short

I have read everything this author has written and his Novak and Mitchell books are so full of minute details and descriptions of events and characters as his DCI Lomond books usually are. I just thought this book was brought to an end too soon. It was more like a short story and I wondered how everything was going to be sorted in the last 8 minutes. It was just over too quickly. It just seemed like it was rushed. A bit disappointing really as I loved Raymond’s books. I waited so long for this but it’s not up to his usual standards and it really pains me to say that. Angus King is faultless as usual. His narration is always superb.

Disappointing

It could have been great but it was short on substance and disjointed. Angus King was as good as ever but I wonder whether for some reason (publisher deadlines maybe) we ended up with half a book really. Shame as the author is usually much more diligent.
