Easy Kill

By: Lin Anderson

Narrated by: Sally Armstrong

As women disappear from the city streets, a blood-curdling discovery is made in a Glasgow cemetery. Easy Kill is the fifth novel in Lin Anderson's forensic crime series featuring Rhona MacLeod.

'One of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction' – Daily Mail

A vulnerable young woman has been brutally slain and left on a grave in Glasgow’s sprawling cemetery, the Necropolis. Upon examining the body, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod has no doubt that the depraved killer’s motives were sexual in nature.

The case takes on an even more disturbing dimension when the removal of the girl’s body reveals a second victim, who has recently been buried in a shallow grave underneath. When yet another sex worker is reported missing, there are fears that a serial killer is at large in the city.

This man has killed before – and will again unless Rhona can break the chain and track him down before any more lives are lost . . .

'Vivid and atmospheric, with an enthralling chase' – The Guardian

Critic reviews

Forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod has become one of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction — honourable, inquisitive and yet plagued by doubts and, sometimes, fears

The best Scottish crime series since Rebus

A cast of characters who feel like old friends (The Sunday Times on None But the Dead)

Lin Anderson is one of Scotland’s national treasures – don’t be fooled by comparisons, her writing is unique, bringing warmth and depth to even the seediest parts of Glasgow. Lin’s Rhona MacLeod is a complex and compelling heroine who just gets better with every outing (Stuart MacBride, author of the Logan McRae series)

Hugely imaginative and exciting (James Grieve (Emeritus Professor of Forensic Pathology))

A real page-turner (Ian Rankin, author of the Inspector Rebus series, on The Party House)

Vivid and atmospheric . . . enthralling (The Guardian on The Killing Tide)

Moving right along in this series

I just didn't like the story as well in this one. I don't like stories about serial killers. One writer seems to want to outdo the next over the depth of the evil and I just get sick of it. Of course if u r writing a series about crime, there's bound to be a book about a serial killer. And then I also have never read a book yet where I liked the profiler or criminal shrink. So the new character wasn't a favorite. But these are personal dislikes and others may be fine with it. I love listening to the narrator who has a very listenable voice and a beautiful accent.
