When the Devil Drives

Private investigator Jasmine Shar has been hired to find Tessa Garrion, a young woman who has vanished without trace. What begins as a simple search awakens a malevolence that has lain dormant for three decades. As Jasmine uncovers a hidden history of sex, drugs, ritualism, and murder, she realises she may need a little help from the dark side herself if she's going to get to the truth.

Not a classic Brookmyre, but a solid one

Would you listen to When the Devil Drives again? Why?

Probably not. It gave it all on the first run.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It's intellectually challenging, you know the paths will cross, and he manipulates your expectations in a way that makes it surprising almost all the time.

Which character – as performed by Sarah Barron – was your favorite?

Many - she is a wonderful performer and I can recall most of her characters in this book.
