About this listen
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Prayer for the Dead, from the best-selling Inspector McLean series by Sunday Times best-selling author James Oswald, read by Ian Hanmore.
Are you ready to be reborn? The search for a missing journalist is called off as a body is found at the scene of a carefully staged murder. In a sealed chamber, deep in the heart of Gilmerton Cove, a mysterious network of caves and passages sprawling beneath Edinburgh, the victim has undergone a macabre ritual of purification.
Inspector Tony McLean knew the dead man, and can't shake off the suspicion that there is far more to this case than meets the eye. The baffling lack of forensics at the crime scene seems impossible. But it is not the only thing about this case that McLean will find beyond belief.
Teamed with the most unlikely and unwelcome of allies, he must track down a killer driven by the darkest compulsions, who will answer only to a higher power...
Are you ready for the mysteries to be revealed?

Tony McLean series
Loving these books and the narrator. Such a great twist to have the supernatural elements in each story. Just about to download the next in the series.

The whispering is TERRIBLE
Great story, but they need to redo the parts where the narrator whispers in an unintelligible whistling mumble.

Just can’t stop listening to this series!
Tony McLean is such a likeable guy, the people who surround him are growing more and more interesting. Plots are great, sometimes the unraveling of the end result can be a bit quick but doesn’t take away from the overall stories. Great stuff, very entertaining!

Always delivers
Very tight story which develops some interesting relationships to explore in future tales. Narration was perfectly done.

Far too long.
While it was a pleasure to listen to Ian Hanmore's lovely voice for over 12 hours, this DI Tony McLean story is unnecessarily long and confusing. Too many things happening, too much detail about the mundanities of McLean's daily routine (how many times do we really need to be told he has a mountain of paperwork on his desk, how many post-mortems does he really need to attend, must every single handshake be descibed???). And for pity sake Tony, stop feeding the poor cat on takeout curry!

Repetitive
I've read the whole series and found the books are getting increasingly repetitive.
I find Mcleans constant belittlement by his inept superiors irritating and his constantly getting put upon and never having a life outside of work as frustrating.
The series started well but I feel it's losing its way.

DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THE AUDIO PRODUCTION
Have enjoyed the series up until this book. Fully endorse the comments made about the whispering and in addition that DIABOLICAL background noise behind the whispering made these sections of the book, for me, UTTERLY UNINTELLIGIBLE . I intend to read very carefully all reviews of books before I buy in the future as this book , for me was a waste of money.
