When a baby girl is snatched from the crowd of spectators at a fun run, the local police have a major investigation on their hands. DI Clare Mackay and her team are in a race against the clock when they learn that the child has a potentially fatal medical condition.

"In Plain Sight, second in the DI Clare Mackay series, echoes the themes of See Them Run, Marion Todd’s debut crime novel: vivid sense of place, strong female lead, authentic police procedure." (Claire Macleary)

Great second story.

I couldn’t stop listening - the narration is excellent and am off to find book three.

Gripping suspense!

Crime suspense that one just can't pause. I love how Marion Todd's plots keeps one wondering until the end who the culprit is. Her narration also adds to the authenticity of the characters in her books. I can not wait to start the next one. As addictive as to me as a cigarette to a chain smoker.

a very enjoyable listen

I really like Marion Todd's style of writing. Good characters and a good few twists in the story. She will leave you guessing until the end. I'm off to find book 3 in the series now.

Just as good.

Second book in this series. I hope I don’t run out too soon!
Another gripping story with an impressive female detective. Keep them coming.
Have just ordered the 3rd book in the series.

Good story

While I very much enjoyed the plot and characterisation, I find the author's narration very stilted and think someone else could do a better job of bringing her words to life.

Fantastic!

Very well balanced characters and true equality within that. The main character is human and so is everyone else. No dumbed down men to make the women look better. What the author has created is a working team. Fully functioning, realistic characters, who all have pivotal roles that prove their importance in being a part of that team.
I also love that the author reads the book herself. Brilliant!
This is book 2 in the series, and I am about to buy the third.

Gripping …

A realistic impression of police life as you follow the plot. The story line was exciting, full of twists and turns with lots of surprises. The characters were interesting and caught your imagination. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very good the Narrator perfect

I have really enjoyed the book and was ready to buy the 3rd on Audible only to see 3&4 not yet available on Audible I hope this will be rectified very soon. The rest of the characters are well established too.
