Book Synopsis:
The tenth book in the Sunday Times-bestselling Inspector McLean series, from one of Scotland’s most celebrated crime writers
When a member of the Police Scotland team fails to clock-in for work, concern for her whereabouts is immediate… and the discovery of her burnt-out car in remote woodland to the south of Edinburgh sets off a desperate search for the missing woman.
Meanwhile, DCI Tony McLean and the team are preparing for a major anti-corruption operation – one which may raise the ire of more than a few powerful people in the city. Is Anya Renfrew’s disappearance a co-incidence or related to the case?
McLean’s investigations suggest that perhaps that Anya isn’t the first woman to have mysteriously vanished in these ancient hills. Once again, McLean can’t shake the feeling that there is a far greater evil at work here…

My Review:
I’m a huge fan of this author, and this series, so I was incredibly excited to be sent an early copy of this book. Once again the author has written an intriguing, gripping and unique book which I really enjoyed.
It was fantastic to be back with the newly promoted DCI McLean and his team who I always love following on their investigations. McLean has to be one of my favourite fictional detectives as he seems so down to earth and a bit of a rebel as he continually breaks the rules. His team follow what I call old fashioned policing as they don’t just reply on forensics which is a nice change from other crime books. The author makes the investigation seem more real as he leaves in all the dead ends the team encounter and their frustrations with these.
As with most of this series the case involves a touch of the supernatural which gives the story a deliciously creepy, unpredictable feel. I wasn’t at all sure which way the story was going to go at times and this helped add to the tension in the book as well as my overall enjoyment. This part of the story is based on a Scottish Folk Take but if recommend not looking it up as you might figure out what’s going on!
This book drew me in from the start and the intriguing storyline kept my interest until the end. There are a few lines of investigation running alongside each other and I found it very interesting to see them all develop- some to dead ends. The ending was the fantastic, explosive kind that I’ve grown used to in this series and I found myself very satisfied with how everything finished.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Jenni Leech for my copy of this book.
