About this listen

Next in Line is a thrilling addition to the much-loved and best-selling detective fiction series from a rising star in Scottish crime fiction. Ideal for fans of Alex Gray, D. K. Hood and Rachel Amphlett.

Gaby Fox is known to many due to her successful TV career, so when her brother and his pals hire the salubrious Lamond Lodge for his birthday celebrations, it is noted by the St Andrews locals. A ripple of shock goes round the town when Russell Fox is gunned down on the premises. DI Clare Mackay is attending a wedding when she sees Gabrielle receive a phone call then flee.

Soon after, Clare learns why when the news of the shooting reaches her. Instead of trying to enjoy the day - not easy when the groom is her ex-boyfriend - Clare is preoccupied. Clare gets to work on uncovering the facts surrounding Russell Fox’s death. The guests at the lodge have secrets to hide, but even when Clare begins to unravel the deceit, it doesn’t bring the answers. The detective can’t help but wonder why no one who knew Russell seems capable of telling the truth and whether there is more than one person with a reason to want him dead....

Excellent story and presentation

I really enjoyed this story. A great plot well executed. And so great to hear the author doing the telling herself. Will have to listen to more by this writer.

Dead boring. But nicely read.

This story plods along without a hint of excitement, with mundane dialogue and minimal character development. Police procedurals require some charm or a least a relatable team dynamic to draw in the reader. All the characters in this story are paper thin and forgettable.

The author does a good job of reading her own work, though.
