Wow. Wow. Wow.
I listened to the audiobook version of this book and omg it was absolutely breathtaking!
The story is heartbreaking and gripping flipping back and forth between the present, where a bomber is rampaging through Edinburgh and the past, where his reasons are slowly explained.
This was my first Helen Fields book in the DI Callanagh series, it was easily a stand alone book, but I’m now hooked and already dying to read the next one!
Huge Thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins for letting me listen to this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

One of my absolute favourite series ever and this one does not let me down! From start to finish I was hooked. This was the audiobook and I really loved it. Ava and Luc are back and with a bang! No spoilers being given but the wait was so worth it!
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this audio arc in exchange for my honest review.

Welcome back Luc, Ava and Natasha. How I've missed you. Eagerly awaiting the latest instalment in the DI Callanach series and Ms Fields does not disappoint. In fact, this is a crime spree so awful and deadly the reader barely gets the opportunity to take a breath. With more twists and turns than a Curly-Wurly, from the first sentence Ms Fields messes with the reader's head and doesn't stop until the final full stop. Her writing is so nuanced, dialogue so realistic and the interactions between the various characters is totally credible. I was devastated when I finished book 6 and promised myself when I got my hands on book 7, I'd limit my listening to an hour a day. Epic fail. I couldn't stop and listened to the entire story in 2 sessions. Robin Laing turns in an Oscar winning performance as the narrator. Now I have to sit patiently and wait for book 8. This series just gets better and better. Not enough stars in the world to rate it.

Wow, this book is amazing, and I highly recommend it! I loved it a lot, and since finishing it, I have bought more of the books in this series, and I have already started reading book 1. I didn't find that I had to have read any of the previous books to understand this 7th book in the series.

I really loved the main characters of this book - DCI Ava Turner and DI Luc Callanach. I loved the connection they have with each other, and the way they are so suited to each other, both in their personal and work lives.

The story is amazing, and it really kept me gripped, excited, hyped up, and wanting to find out what happened next. I loved both of the main stories, and the way they both came together at the end. The first story is that there is a bomber, who is bombing people in high authority roles. The second story is of a young girl, who has a stalker. Alongside this is the more personal goings on, of Ava, Luc and their flatmate. All of the stories combined make a well-rounded book, which is fast paced, thrilling, emotional and full of action. I must have cried about three or four times during the book. It really made me feel emotional. I also loved the Scottish setting of the book, especially since I am Scottish.

The narrator of the audiobook was outstanding, and the way he could change his voice, accents and emotions was just amazing. He sounded like a very professional actor, and he really brought the story to life and made it sound very exciting. I felt like I was listening to a movie, which felt very realistic. I really would like to see this book made into a tv show or a movie, and I think it would go far.

Overall, I think this book is superb - everything about it is amazing and perfect, and I can't fault it at all. I only have high praise for it, and I am now so excited to read the rest of this author's books.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
