Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6
A heart-stopping crime thriller from the author of three consecutive No. 1 bestsellers, including Birthdays for the Dead and the DI Logan McRae series. He's back... Eight years ago, ‘The Inside Man' murdered four women and left three more in critical condition - all of them with their stomachs slit open and a plastic doll stitched inside. And then the killer just … disappeared. Ash Henderson was a Detective Inspector on the initial investigation, but a lot can change in eight years.

He’s been snatching girls for 12 years, always in the run-up to their 13th birthday, sending the families his homemade cards showing their daughters being slowly tortured to death.

Detective Chief Inspector Roberta Steel got caught fitting up Jack Wallace - that's why they demoted her and quashed his sentence. Now he's back on the streets, and women are being attacked again. Wallace has to be responsible, but if Detective Sergeant Steel goes anywhere near him, his lawyers will get her thrown off the force for good. The Powers That Be won't listen to her, not after what happened last time. According to them, she's got more than enough ongoing cases to keep her busy.

Publisher's Summary
A gripping stand-alone thriller from the Sunday Times number one best-selling author of the Logan McRae series.
Welcome to the Misfit Mob... It's where Police Scotland dumps the officers it can't get rid of but wants to: the outcasts, the troublemakers, the compromised. Officers like DC Callum MacGregor, lumbered with all the boring go-nowhere cases. So when an ancient mummy turns up at the Oldcastle tip, it's his job to find out which museum it's been stolen from.
But then Callum uncovers links between his ancient corpse and three missing young men, and life starts to get a lot more interesting. O Division's Major Investigation Teams already have more cases than they can cope with, so, against everyone's better judgment, the Misfit Mob are just going to have to manage this one on their own. No one expects them to succeed, but right now they're the only thing standing between the killer's victims and a slow, lingering death. The question is, can they prove everyone wrong before he strikes again?

A great story with gasp-worthy twists and turns
This is a great story. The narrator is terrific (and as an aside, I've learned a bunch of awesome new Scottish expressions and insults - "ye gingery wee twat" made me literally snortlaugh out loud).
The plot twists and turns were so mesmerizing that any excuse served to pop in earbuds and keep listening to see what was next, and at the same time, I really didn't want the story to end.
The protagonist, Callum McGregor, is engaging and so trodden-upon in parts of the book that I wanted to shout at everyone who was treating him badly. His co-workers, who mostly start out being complete a**eholes to him, grew on me so much that I wanted everything to work out for all of them. The bad guys were despicable, the weather grim, everything described in such detail that I could see it in my mind's eye... I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for something engaging and unpredictable.

From the bizarre to the ridiculous
Couldn’t finish this book. Main character is whiny and self-pitying and the story just kept getting more and more ridiculous and implausible.
