Publisher's Summary

## Can she catch the killer before someone else is silenced for good...?

Detective Hanlon is addicted to violence. She likes the rush, the danger, the losing control...

When Hanlon is suspended from the force for assaulting a suspect, she escapes to the remote Scottish island of Jura, home to the mysterious Corryvreckan whirlpool.

But wherever Hanlon goes, violence is sure to follow.

As soon as she checks into The Mackinnon Arms, Hanlon senses something isn't quite right about the staff at her home for the week.

Sure enough, within days of arriving, the body of a member of staff is found floating in the sea. While police believe she was claimed by the local whirlpool, Hanlon isn't so sure.

As she pieces together the evidence, dark secrets begin to unravel. Can Hanlon work out what is going on before another floating body is found...?

Discover an addictive crime series, perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Bryndza and Lisa Regan.

Loved it

Really enjoyed this story,
The main character grew on me. At first I thought what a horrible person, but she surprised me.

Such a great character

Hanlon is such a great character and a fabulous female character of this genre. She’s smart resourceful, cranky, flawed and loveable nonetheless. Love the lone wolf aspect and set in such a remote location. Would definitely want to listen to more books in the series.

Twists and Turns

A strong, female protagonist with a fit body and an intelligent mind. I enjoyed this book and look forward to further books in the series. An excellent crime writer and talented narrator.

Location, performance and FMC are excellent

Really enjoyed this one, my first listen of Coombs. Bonnyman does an impeccable job narrating, an obvious native to Scotland and a natural.
Nice twist on your classic crime - mostly due to the nuanced FMC who I was really rooting for.
Had my suspicions and was pleasantly surprised with the ending. Beautiful descriptions of the isles, quite transportive, now I must visit. Make sure you speed this one up to at least 1.2, as the narrators very lengthy pauses sometimes made me look at my phone as if the book had stopped!

Enjoyed the story

Listened to this on a whim as it fit the theme of books I’ve been reading recently and I really enjoyed it might need to look at the others in the series.

Worth it

Good performance. Well thought out. Enjoyable twists and turns. Not the usual heroine which was refreshing.
