About this listen

The flood waters are rising. And so is the body count…

Police officer Fiona MacLeish has been ordered to step back from her role in Police Scotland. Haunted by the murder of her parents, she’s dangerously close to breaking point: and is back in her remote childhood home nestled in a valley on the Scottish border. But there’s a terrifying storm coming…

When Fiona finds the bloodied body of a neighbour in their flooded house, a chill runs through her veins. The bruising around his throat tells Fiona someone wanted this elderly man dead. And with the torrential rain cutting the farming village off completely, the murderer must still be nearby.

But flood waters continue to rise, and landslides force Fiona to take shelter with a crowd of locals at the highest-standing farm. Then, another victim is found, with more suspicious wounds. Trapped at the farm with a killer, with no hope of outside help, can Fionacatch them before more of the isolated community become victims?

The Flood is the first book in the Fiona MacLeish series. With an unforgettable setting, a strong female lead and packed with twists, this is the perfect read for fans of J.M. Dalgliesh, J.D. Kirk and Simon McCleave.

Fiona is rather an irritating character, she constantly doubts herself, and blames herself for virtually everything. I found that irritating. The story is a good one though if you can ignore Fiona's tendency to anguish.
I found it interesting that we are never informed what Fiona's rank is, she's been in the Police 'Service' for ten years and would like to become a detective, her parents were murdered, and she has an Aunt, Mary. But that's it, so best to avoid this one if you're big on character development.
The narrator is fabulous.

Great story but ...
