This crime thriller revolves around the death of women on the rock under mysterious circumstances.
Amanda is requested to conduct an investigation on the enquiry on the investigation on Rima Khallaf's death. While Amanda uncovers some information that was overlooked in the previous investigation, it wasn't enough to reopen the case. Rima's parents are hell bent that their daughter was murdered, provided there was no evidence to prove otherwise.
With Rima's laptop in hand Amanda initiates an unsolicited investigation. The information she stumble on is something she couldn't overlook or ignore. The rest of the story follows her steps as she struggles to find the answer. There's voyeurism and a sub plot that run along with this one. I like how everything fell into place towards the end.
The story gives us a clear insight within the police Scotland and their procedure. This well written story would be in no doubt a treat for crime story lovers.

I am always interested in books taking place in Scotland so I read this one, unfortunately not a great book to start the year with. The story was very complicated, too many storylines in it. The plot was very far fetched involving drug dealing, FBI watchers, stalkers and phantasy writers with loads of aggression and violent sex. The main character did not do anything in compliance with police procedures and still got away with it. Perhaps it is better if the writer concentrates on playing golf.

Another great new voice on the Scottish crime scene! This book is an engaging, fast-paced read with some compelling characters and a well-researched storyline. Fans of the genre will not be disappointed!
