DCI Harry McNeil #10
Against the Clock
The body of a teenager is found near Portobello Beach in Edinburgh, wrapped in plastic. She went missing five years ago but it's obvious she only died recently.
Inside the plastic is the dress she was wearing when reported missing. Where has she been kept and why has she been killed now?
The dead girl's abduction mirrors that of two young girls who have gone missing in the past two weeks.
DCI Harry McNeil is assigned the case with the help of two colleagues from Glasgow, who have discovered the body of a young girl in an abandoned leisure park.
Now an eight year old girl is snatched from the beach. Is it connected to the other two older girls who have gone missing?
As the detectives follow the clues, they know they're dealing with somebody who is not only a deranged killer but who will disappear with his victims. Just like he did five years ago. Harry and the others are pulling out all the stops to find the girls, but all of them know, they're running against the clock...

John Carson has cracked it again with Against The Clock the Harry McNeill series. This book finds the Edinburgh division of police Scotland collaborating again with their Glasgow division and 3 ex police officers who were still serving in the police force at the time of this historic crime.
When the bodies of three young girls turn up dead from the locations they'd been abducted from 5 years earlier the two police divisions have to combine to solve the case as both jurisdictions were involved.
Two joggers out for a morning run one of them unconvinced about the validity of their task stops on Portobello beach as he thinks he's going to be sick. They see something lying in the sand, when they check it out it's the body of a young girl abducted 5 years earlier from the same location. Both men have a deep mistrust of the police and phone it in anonymously with a fake Irish accent.
The second young girl had been abducted on the same day 5 years earlier on a school day trip to a swimming baths in Glasgow with her Edinburgh primary school. The baths now closed and derelict is now the deposition site for her body the place of her original abduction. The building had been vandalised several times so Armadillo sensors had been put at all the entrances so anyone entering would trip them and alert the security company. The killer had taken a big risk putting the body back here and she's found within the hour.
The third girl had been abducted on the same day as the other girls she was taken at Burntisland amusement park a day trip with her parents, who claim to have taken their eye of her for a second and then she was gone.
When the forensics team visit all three deposition sites the bodies all have pink blotches on the skin a sure sign of carbon monoxide poisoning but they all have freezer burns too which means they'd been frozen until the killer had decided what to do with their bodies. When it turns out that all 3 girls went to the same school and were all abducted on the same day in a five or six hour period the plot thickens. The police also find that an Edinburgh private hire bus company had been used as the transport to all 3 of the locations where the girls were taken. Coincidence? Maybe or is something more sinister afoot?
When three other girls go missing from an Edinburgh bus station Harry and the team have not only find the girls and bring them back alive they have to find the killer or killers for the original abduction/killings.
How to make sense of it all? Harry and his team have to try to but they also have a foul mouthed Detective Superintendent Stewart thrown into the mix, oh and Alex, Harry's wife and colleague is heavily pregnant with their first child and thinks that he's in love with the new Irish Detective Sergeant Lillian who's her temporary replacement while she's on maternity leave.
Will they be able to make sense of it all? Will they be able to find the girls in time? Will they find the killer of the original victims? Will Harry still have a marriage? Will anyone kill the D/Sup? You'll have to read the book to find out.

When two teenaged girls are found dead – one in Edinburgh and one in Glasgow they are very quickly identified as two of three young girls who went missing within days of each other five years ago. DCI Harry McNeil and a number of his colleagues quickly work together to try and find both where the third girl might be but also re-investigate the original kidnappings.
This is a fast paced and enjoyable Scottish police procedural style of book. I have been enjoying this series and while the plot and mystery can definitely be read alone, I feel readers will gain far more enjoyment from the many characters if they have read at least a few of the previous books to understand the various interactions and relationships.
I was a little disappointed this time around to find Alex’s character pretty annoying. I fully understand her situation and that she’s not quite herself – but equally I feel the jealousy and slightly petty behavior she showed Harry in particular was a bit beneath her. While I feel some readers may think this makes Alex more relatable and human, I personally found it a bit annoying and was pleased when she reverted somewhat back to the character I’m used to.
There is a bunch of Scottish antics and swearing from the various characters – quite a decent sized cast of them too – so readers who are somewhat new to the series might find it a bit of a juggle to keep it all in hand. I admit I really enjoyed this part of the story – the ribald interactions and clear friendship and connections between the group of men. To my surprise, I actually even somewhat liked DSup Calvin Stewart, though I expect he was purposely written as a bit of a git and rude character. He was certainly memorable regardless of whether you liked him or not and while personally I enjoyed him – I’d understand if he’s not every reader’s cup of tea. He is certainly a different and unique kind of character.
With a solid mystery plot and a wide range of variable characters I found this to be a fun romp of a story with plenty of swearing and police work. I’m greatly enjoying the series and am eager for more.

I found I enjoyed Against the Clock more than I enjoyed and of the other books in the series due the minimal amount of Alex Maxwell's character in the book. I love DCI McNeil and Dunbar and Evans. They are well written and the characters work well together. I enjoy the other detectives from Harry's team and ones that are often called to follow leads or track people down like Barclay. I also enjoy the newer foursome Sparky, Muckle, Shug and Vern. I loved that this book had them all included and the ensemble really worked for me.
The one character I just can't stand is Alex Maxwell. The very first book she was mouthy, not cute, and downright annoying. She obviously had designs on her new boss, and was like a seventh grade girl around Harry. The characters have been written in a way that Harry seemed to put up with her, and her rude mouth, like an older brother might put up with an annoying younger sibling. But he never seemed in love with her. Then all of a sudden she is living with him, and he seems to just enjoy not being alone, but never were there indications he was falling in love. Once Alex snags her boss she turns into a controlling harpy with jealousy issues. Her tantrums and rudeness are shameful, as well as texting Harry's own son to tell him she is leaving his father, dragging him into her issues. The character is ludicrous, not endearing or strong. Her shots at Harry are demeaning. Now that she is pregnant she is once again accusing Harry of cheating on her and treats him like gum on the bottom of her shoe. I'm so tired of every excuse being that it is the pregnancy, that doesn't speak well of pregnant women AND she was like this before they were dating or even married. She is just a nagging harpy. And to be honest, the dialog between them does not give the impression of love between two people. He seems more like a beaten down man already and she is entirely immature. It just reads as a man brow beat by Vanessa, jumps out of that fry pan, to Alex, the fire, who brow beats him... And all so he doesn't have to be alone. He could have gotten a roommate or a cat and story there would have been one hundred percent better.
So I go back to my original thought, that I really enjoyed this book the most out of the series. Except for the few snippets of Alex throwing tantrums and acting like a beast, the book was enjoyable. The investigation was great. I loved them all coming together to solve the old crimes with the new. The cast of characters worked well together. I even think Sparky, Muckle Shug and Vern could handle their own series. I really thought Against the Clock was the best so far.

Confusing
I’ve been reading the John Carson Harry McNeil series and enjoying it very much. The plots and the characters were all very well done. But this one was a confused mess. The bones of the plot were good but in the telling it was far from clear. The confusion was compounded by using mostly, supposedly, Scottish speak or slang. I couldn’t understand half of it. The compliments (wee bastard) sounded like curses and I couldn’t decipher the curses at all. About every other word was “wee.”
This lack of clarity was furthered by the addition of an extraneous character, Dsup Stewart. Stewart could not speak without using curse words and while I didn’t mind those too much they just sounded so much worse in Scottish. He was a foul mouthed slurper who added nothing to the book or the investigation. Attention which could have been placed on the regular main characters was wasted on him instead. The character of Alex was displayed very negatively and depicted as very superficial.
Although I’ll continue to read this series I can honestly say I was relieved when I finally reached the end of this book.

Decent police procedural w humorous banter and much profanity
3.5 stars
This book features a combination of characters from author John Carson’s detective series. If you’re a newbie to DCI Harry McNeil Series, you may wish to start with an earlier book. There are about fifty characters, which includes two dozen or so police from Edinburgh, Glasgow, and other jurisdictions. It helps if you know the coppers, because there are over two dozen suspects, victims, family members, and acquaintances to keep track of.
The kidnap/murder storyline is complex, although there are times when I had to push through some questionable plot points. More, the DS Alex Maxwell pregnancy subplot was annoyingly hormonal and added little to the storyline. I docked a star, because DSuper Stewart cussed his way through the book, abetted by DCI Dunbar, and DS Evans. Yes, there were funny moments during this trio’s banter, but I wanted more focus on the murders and more of DCI McNeil and his team.
I’ll read the next book in this series, with high hopes that I’ll enjoy it more.

I'm sure people wonder why I keep reading these books when I give them three stars. Because I hold out hope that we might just get a little Harry and Alex relationship (nope), and I truly enjoy Dunbar and Evans. As to this book, Dsup Stewart was just arrogant arsehole who brought NOTHING to the story. And, we were once again deprived of Alex's and Harry's relationship due to her hormones (yes, I'm still mad that the wedding was skipped over by John Carson). Plot was okay, but like all Carson books, was revealed in one mad chapter at the end. Needless to say, Dunbar and Evans, and Harry's gentlemanliness are the only things keeping me reading this series. So much talent but so much just skimmed and skipped over :(
April 17, 2022
The reason this book gets a 3 is because while I've liked the past books in this series, overall this book was just okay, it was weirdly edited and the part about the 2 older girls going missing felt thrown in just to advance the plot. Another problem I had was use of profanity, I don’t mind it but holy-moly there's an excessive amount in this book in my opinion. While I like Dunbar and Evans they don't need to be in every Harry book but the extra funny banter is nice bonus. I don't mind the addition of Vern for Evans but Muckle and Shug could definitely go away, not a fan. I wasn't a huge fan on the addition of Detective Superintendent Stewart at first either because of the language but that aside he kinda grew on me and I'm looking forward to reading the spin-off series about him.

ABSOLUTE BELTER!!
I've read all the Harry McNeill books and enjoyed every single one. Each has some extremely funny one-liners but have to say that none come close to this latest offering.
DSup Stewart has a mouth like a sewer but I almost laughed myself sick at his patter. Just as well I was on my own whilst reading this book because I think someone would've stuck me in a strait-jacket otherwise.
A fantastic read and can't wait for the next masterpiece.
Thank you Mr Carson.

A fabulous read
One of my favourite series. Love the humour between Dunbar and Evans who tend to team up with Harry in most of the books. Their boss Stewart features in this book and he is hilarious, I was crying with laughter at one point, especially in the hotel restaurant with the old couple 😂 Roll on the next book and I hope we see more of Stewart and his team, they just crack me up, which is what we need in these trying times.

Mince
Inconsistent and illogical. Plot doesn’t flow properly- eg the introduction of the older and recently missing teenage girls. It’s like a bit is missing. Plot just got silly. And the swearing got boring- and unbelievable. Nobody can behave like that at work or to members of the public. It just made the book silly. The first 9 books have been pretty good but I might have a break following this one.

Character driven.
The gangs all here. Carson has written several series and he brings all the main characters together to solve a very difficult case. Three girls, all missing for five years. Their bodies are left where they were taken which brings all the jurisdictions into play. Filled with witty banter and a bang up ending.

Another cracking good read by one of my favourite authors, John Carson. The DCI Harry McNeil series has everything I enjoy about murder mysteries; interesting characters, intriguing plot, and snappy dialogue. I highly recommend this series, Cheers Lynda L. Lock (Isla Mujeres Mysteries & Death in the Vineyard Mysteries).

The book could do with a glossary of Scottish terms used throughout.
Thankfully the homosexual couple and his husband aren't mentioned all that much as i have a hard time dealing with this new woke language and political correctness. If you're born with a dick you ain't a chick.
Other than that: a page turner to say the least.

Great!
I am a big fan of John Carson. His books are always entertaining. I like all of the characters in Against the Clock but it was especially good to “see” Frank Miller again. I did not figure out the killer. But the end was wonderful. I highly recommend this author.

This could have been a good read. Reasonable plot, good characters, all spoiled by the inclusion of Stewart and his relentless cursing and crass language. Dunbar was almost as bad. Made the police seem like a bunch of ignorant , ill mannered yobs.
May 1, 2021
Not bad but the language and unseemliness of the way these policemen speak is getting so wearisome. I will give one more ago but the gutter and toilet talk is so unedifying. I like the family resferemces but the dreadful way these policemen speak is very tiresome.

Excellent story had me thinking what the killer was about, couldn't put the book down.

Another great story
Another great story in the Harry McNeil series with all the usual characters including the gang from Glasgow. Well written and fast moving a story to be read in one sitting. Looking forward to reading the next one.

Fall from Grace
Hated the new detective. Way too over the top, a “Groundskeeper Willie” Scotsman. Get rid of him. I can’t even think of his name because I didn’t add it to my mental list of names while reading the story.

An interesting twist
In this story the initial suspects turn out to be the criminals.
Life for the Fab Four develops along familiar lines, and new characters arrive to provide the energy and interest for any further books.

I enjoy these books, but found the character of Stewart a bit too much. His foul mouth rants spoilt this book for me and I found myself wanting to skip passages when I saw his name to avoid his foul mouth
May 17, 2023
The added character os Stewart was fine, but he cussed his way through the story beginning to end. Really? Do real people talk like that? I can not imagine. The story is interesting with cold case files colliding with current disappearances.

A really good balance between murder and humour.

Every bit as good as the rest of the series. Laugh out loud in parts but still a gripping read. Thoroughly recommend John Carson books.
