Publisher's Summary
Caroline Adamson's future is looking up...until her mutilated body is found. Her ex-husband is the main suspect. But when one murder becomes three, Edinburgh faces up to the fact that it might have a serial killer in its midst.
Could the answer lie with Schoolbook, the latest social media craze to hit the city? DCI Cullen is determined to prove himself and equally determined to find justice.

Slow it down and stick with it Great!
For a first in the series I took a shine to Cullen and though the story lacked a little body, the potential for a great series is there. Glad I kept reading because it's concepts are new and fresh and the 3 books on Audible just get better! Adding it to me series to listen out for 🙏

Was it poor narrator direction that left me cold?
I pushed through to the end. These characters are shallow and uninteresting. I didn’t care for any of them except perhaps MacNeill who had some backbone. Baine’s gratuitous swearing put me off. I understand he’s supposed to be unlikeable but he is unrelentingly one dimensional.
The narration was peculiarly melodramatic and undulating during the descriptive sections of the book but quite good during the dialogue. If this was an error in direction it should be addressed. I wouldn’t recommend this book.

Very hard to follow as an audio book.
The narrator would do better not to try to do female voices. Sadly, the women sounded like they were about to have a panic attack. The story was very hard to follow as there were so many people and so much happening. Probably a better book to read rather than listen.

Story was interesting
Didn’t enjoy the narrator. His inflection was over done and his volume varied so much it was either too soft to hear or so loud the volume needed to be turned down

Very slow progress in the story
This story was moving too slowly for me to stay interested. Narration was good though.

I wanted to shoot that DI.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story and Dave Gillies narration but seriously, how that DI whats-is-name didn’t get battered by his team I shall never know. There is no way a Senior Officer would get away with speaking and treating some of his Staff like that. Well, in the “old” days he would but not when this story was set. I kept hoping someone would run him over! Loved the story though and would recommend it.

Ok storyline
New character. I would like to know more about his back story. As a DC he is given lots of responsibility- is this realistic? Anyway, let’s have more to see if he develops.

Ghost in the machine
Loved the book and the story.
Sorry but I feel the reader let it down I much prefer Angus King reading the monotone voice in this reading made it hard to concentrate fully on the story.

Detective Scottish Style
Well narrated with a gripping tale for those who like detective stories without too much fuss and bother! If you like trying to deduce the end, before the end, this is for you!!

Completely Irrational
Unbelievably stupid DI in charge of the case. Pretty unrealistic level of incompetence in an SCI (all of the senior officers in fact); plus his treatment of his team was just not plausible in this day and age. I didn’t like the narrator at all. His portrayal of characters was good but most of the time he sounded bored as was I. I’m glad this was included in my membership and I didn’t use a credit.
