About this listen

DCI Alison McCoist is back: newly promoted and even less popular. Chuck Gardner is the proud owner of both a confidential paper-shredding business and a serious betting habit. When Chuck finds some scandalous paperwork and McCoist investigates a rat-nibbled corpse under a flyover, they are both sucked into a deadly stramash of gangland wars and police corruption. Can Chuck solve his gambling and gangster problems before some heed-banger feeds him into his own shredder? And can McCoist claw herself out of this latest shitemire without her own shady dealings coming to light? It might depend on how far she's prepared to go...

An interesting and engaging sequel, well written with a great narration. There were so many male characters sometimes differentiation was difficult to achieve. That, along with the lack of who said what made listening properly even more important and challenging.

I did enjoy this book, it was long awaited and most welcome, however I find the trend towards leaving the storyline hanging as, no doubt, a hook to buy the next one, really annoying. A well crafted story should not need the format of Eastenders where a 'doof doof doof' right at the last moment keeps the audience coming back the next time to find out what happens.

A good follow-up...however...

Even better than Squeaky Clean, this is a riveting tale of police and the Glasgow gangs. Warning - there will be blood!

Absolutely gripping

I can’t take to McCoist. Davy from the 1st was a far better character. Not for me. Narration is poor too.

Disappointment from the 1st book.
