About this listen

The weathered remains of Eleanor Gray are found on a Scottish mountainside, and her mother, the domineering Lady Maude Gray, requires delicate treatment. This is a case that will lead Inspector Ian Rutledge of Scotland Yard to Scotland, where his harrowing journey to find the truth will drag him back through the fires of his past into secrets that still have the power to kill.

Great story. Bizarre ending. It’s as if the the author was told,”That’s it! Time’s up!” and left the room. Lights out, door closed. Create your own ending dear readers. I suppose leaving an open cognitive loop is meant to persuade us to jump straight into the next book in the series, but it seems amateurish….

Well…That Was Abrupt.

I realize this was written years ago. The ending is a severe disappointment. You’re left hanging. What happens to Fiona and the child and the young girl?
