DCI LOMOND BOOK 2
THE SHORTLIST
This is one shortlist no writer wants to be on...
When legendary crime novelist William MacRae is found murdered at his Glasgow home, Police Scotland’s premier investigator DCI John Lomond is put on the case.
After compiling a shortlist of suspects that includes seven bestselling authors – all old friends of MacRae’s – Lomond and his team head to a Highlands crime writing festival, where the seven are gathering to remember their fallen friend.
But a vicious storm is closing in. And not everyone, it seems, has fond memories of MacRae.
Or each other.
Cut off from the outside world at a remote country home, it doesn’t take long for the whisky to flow, old resentments to reignite…and another dead body to appear.
One of them is a killer.
But can Lomond sift through all the secrets and lies to unmask them before it’s too late?
The Shortlist is shot through with Andrew Raymond’s dark Glaswegian humour and thrilling twists. Taking you from his beloved home city to the north west coast of Scotland.
If you like writers like JD Kirk, Ian Rankin, and Stuart MacBride, this addictive murder mystery will have you guessing to the very end.
What readers say...
I loved the way the characters were written so that I immediately felt connected and invested in them. The investigation was fast paced and interesting, and so well written I could actually feel anxiety build at certain points in the story. There was also some humour, funny, dry one liners to lighten the mood at times and make me chuckle, but the ending......oh my, it was excellent, a cracking twist and well, there aren't many police procedurals that can make me cry, but this one did. I'm so pleased to have found this author, and I'm now off to buy the whole series so I can binge. Do yourself a favour..buy this book!!!
Absolutely brilliant storyline……. Had me hooked from beginning to end. I raced through this book I need to slow down with the next one to appreciate the great work of Andrew Raymond. Crime thriller writing at its very best
Excellent book! Well written with such believable characters and amazing plot! Would never have guessed the ending. Can't wait to start the next one!
A great crime thriller, based in Glasgow. Characters well done and likeable, plot with plenty of twists and I love the setting. Looking forward to more DCI Lomond thrillers.
