Old Bones Lie

Detective Clare Mackay, Book 6

By: Marion Todd

Narrated by: Marion Todd

DI Clare Mackay is about to face a test of her loyalty....

When a report comes in that a van containing two prison officers and a convicted jewel thief is missing, the police in St Andrews work quickly to locate the vehicle. Their efforts prove in vain when no trace is found and they realise the wives of both officers also appear to have left the area. Is this a case of corrupt guards springing a felon, or innocent people caught in the crossfire?

DI Clare Mackay leads the team but has to do without her right hand man; DS Chris West is a cousin to one of the missing prison officers and must not be involved in the case. With a new sergeant at her side plus a previously unencountered DCI, Clare’s people skills are pushed to the limit. Especially once she realises her boss is keeping her on the side lines. Just what is it that Clare doesn’t know? And if she has to choose between keeping secrets from a friend, or letting slip something that could see a culprit go free, which path will she take?

A compelling addition to the best selling series by a much-loved Scottish crime author, perfect for fans of Caro Ramsay, Lin Anderson and Alex Gray.

Series gets better and better

This series just gets better and better. The last two were a bit mawkish and I found it difficult to believe that the main character, a DI in her 40s, could be so romantically adolescent, but in this story Claire comes into her own. Can’t wait for the next novel.

Love this series

I have read all of Marion Todd‘s books, and I love every one of them. I’m sorry I have to wait for the next one to be released. I love her narrations in the audiobooks, the characters, and the stories. One of my favorite authors.

Old Bones

This was really awful. I could not listen to to the procedural over and over. Definitely want my credit back.
