‘I love, love, LOVE Perfect Remains!’ Reader review

‘A superb debut!’ Reader review

‘Without doubt, this is one of the best first detective series I have ever read.’ Woman’s Way Magazine

On a remote Highland mountain, the body of Elaine Buxton is burning. All that will be left to identify the respected lawyer are her teeth and a fragment of clothing.

In the concealed back room of a house in Edinburgh, the real Elaine Buxton screams into the darkness…

Detective Inspector Luc Callanach has barely set foot in his new office when Elaine’s missing persons case is escalated to a murder investigation. Having left behind a promising career at Interpol, he’s eager to prove himself to his new team. But Edinburgh, he discovers, is a long way from Lyon, and Elaine’s killer has covered his tracks with meticulous care.

It’s not long before another successful woman is abducted from her doorstep, and Callanach finds himself in a race against the clock. Or so he believes … The real fate of the women will prove more twisted than he could have ever imagined.

Fans of Angela Marson, Mark Billingham and M. J. Aldridge will be gripped by this chilling journey into the mind of a troubled killer.

It’s very graphic, but, we’ll written. Let’s see what the next book has to offer….

Hold on, there are no seatbelts for this ride. It’s over the top with details of brutality to women.

Begin series. Read or listen to next in series Repeat.

Harangue, harass, stalk (jokingly) author for more. Wait.

Write review , repeat. It’s what I intend to do. This was an amazing story. I am about to begin the next and just keep going until… I haven’t enjoyed a procedural this much since discovering Peter Grainger’s DI Smith. If you haven’t found those yet, stop reading this and begin those now.

Much praise also for Robin Laing. The narration was absolutely perfect— much the same as Angus King, creating a wonderful visual in the mind’s eye of the story. Mr. Laing must be commended for his female voices especially— no strange and false high pitch here.

I am so looking forward to the next. A great procedural, moves a very good pace. Quite enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Amazing.

The perfect mix of crime, suspense and adventure. Very well written, appropriate for young adults and up. Once I was used to the accent of the narrator I was hooked. The perfect murder(s), no raunchy sex scenes, unnecessary foul language and just enough info on the crime scenes. Call me a prude if you want, but the author has proved you can write a great crime/suspense novel and use appropriate adjectives.

Great crime / suspense novel

The story was good but the narration was distracting. Flat and unemotional when needed. Accent good

Good Story

As someone who is tired of the same old “beautiful lady meets handsome but (secretly) disturbed man” stories, I found this psychological thriller much more engaging. The story line was unique, the characters well drawn. If you’re tired of sex-laden plots with psychopathic husbands or nannies, give this a whirl. I highly recommend.

Highly entertaining!
