Publisher's Summary
Four murders. Two detectives. One mystifying crime.
On Christmas Eve, DCI Mackenzie Jones is called to a shooting at a remote farmhouse. Ralph Mallender believes his father lies dead inside. When three more bodies are discovered, it's clear a festive family gathering has turned into a gruesome tragedy.
At first it seems like an open-and-shut case: a murder suicide committed by Ralph's volatile brother Cameron. Then new evidence makes Mack suspect the man who reported the crime is in fact the perpetrator.
But Mack isn't the only one with a stake in the case. Private investigator Atticus Priest has been hired to get Ralph acquitted. That means unearthing any weaknesses in Mack's evidence.
Irascible, impatient, and unpredictable, Atticus has weaknesses of his own. Mack knows all about them because they share a past - both professionally and personally. This time round, however, they aren't on the same side. And as Atticus picks at the loose ends of the case, everything starts to unravel in a way neither of them could ever have predicted....

Good listen
Good listen with an unexpected twist I did not suspect. Narration was perfect and the main character is interesting. The development in the last chapter has created enough intrigue for me to listen to the next volume.

Can’t wait for the next one!
I really enjoyed this! Looking forward to whatever Atticus and Mack get up to next... Well-drawn characters with a rewardingly twisty plot!

Human people with human faults.
I enjoyed this book, as it showed that even the goodies have their problems and faults. Had me guessing until nearly the end when I realised that a “ Oops! don’t want to give it away.

A bit slow
I am not sure whether it was the narrator or unnecessary details and dialogue. I guess a combination of both.
The story was ok although not completely original and to a certain extent predictable.

Atticus, far too smart, far too vulnerable
Can't wait to get into the next exciting rollercoaster of a ride that is Atticus

Atmospheric word craft
I felt like I was on the case! I stated to worry about the Jones and respected Mr Priest for his forbearance and investigative brilliance. I was intrigued by the simmering attraction between Mac and Aticus. Mark Dawson takes you on a journey to places where the atmospherics are very strong and sometimes a little scary.
