Perfectly balanced, thrilling and smooth listening

DI McLain never disappoints you. No need for exaggerated fighting scenes to make the story thrilling. And always this shuttle touch of the supernatural.

Acting Detective Inspector Janey Harris gets the baddie(with a wee bit of help from DI McLean).

I always know I'm reading a good book when I order another latte in the cafe so I can stay longer to delve into the story and this was very true of 'For Our Sins'. I quickly became embroiled in the alterboys story and that of the criminal 'big man' looking for help. It was good to become reacquainted with all the usual characters plus a couple of new arrivals in Tony and Janey's lives. I stayed up too late tonight to finish this latest novel from Mr Oswald, all I can say is thanks for such entertaining books and roll on your next book.
Ian Hanmore's mellifluous reading of characters was as usual excellent.

James Oswald delivers yet again

As someone who remembers Mrs McClutchen, when she was about, I have enjoyed following the life, trials and tribulations of these characters. I find myself caring more about them than the story. Which is always guaranteed to be multilayered and intriguing as Oswald’s writing consistently delivers.

This is my sin

As usual the combination of James Oswald and Ian Hanmore delivers an unexpected book that does not fail to keep you in suspense throughout. I loved it

Brilliant

I have been eagerly awaiting this book for a long time and it was certainly worth waiting for. The story caught my interest very quickly and the excellent narration by Ian Hanmore kept my interest and made it easy to follow the twists and turns of the plot.

As always there was an extra dimension to the plot which can not be easily explained, a hint of the supernatural, but only a hint, The point wasn’t laboured, leaving the reader free to draw his or her own conclusions.

The book dealt with some very difficult subjects, child abuse, human trafficking and exploitation as well as bullying and sexual harassment in the workplace. All were dealt with appropriately yet despite the weighty subject matter the plot flowed easily and the book was engaging and enjoyable.

I have missed Tony McLean and it was great to catch up with him again in For Our Sins. I hope it will not be too long before the next book and please can we have another book in the Constance Fairchild series as well.

Excellent as always.

I adore these books, they are my favourite series. I have become attached to the main characters and love their individual stories. I just hate having to wait for the next book to come out. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Mrs McCutcheon's Cat

Excellent, as usual. I haven't been disappointed with any of the McLean books. I love the hint of the supernatural.
The narration is spot on.

Great book, as is the whole series.

This series is superb, as is the narration. The voice of Hanmore is a treasure.

Different, but in a good way.

I enjoyed the other characters having a more prominent storyline rather than everything revolving around Tony McLean. Despite this he is still the main character that holds the story together.
Another brilliant book.
