About this listen

31st August 1997. Rose Wilson is 14, but looks 16. Pimped out by her ‘boyfriend’, she has seen more of the darkness in life than someone twice her age.

On the night of Princess Diana's death, Rose snaps and commits two terrible crimes. But a defence lawyer takes pity and sets out to do what he can to save her.

Present day. DI Alex Morrow is a witness in the case of Michael Brown – a vicious, nasty arms dealer. During the trial, while he is held in custody, Brown's fingerprints are found at the scene of a murder in the Red Road flats. It's a mystery that Morrow just can't let go.

too many characters

I usually like Denise Mina's novels however this one seems to lose it's way. The story is overcomplicated by too many subplot characters, many of which are stereotypical. The narration was excellent and hats off to Cathleen McCarron for such fine work. Denise is a wonderful writer - but we can't get it write 100% of the time.

Got a bit lost

Not a bad story but becoming repetitive on the police and corrupt high flyers theme as a story line and Morrows being the only one with a moral and ethical stand. I do like the narrator
