This is another entertaining outing for DSI Lorimer and whilst this is the 19th in the series, it can easily be read as a standalone.

Echo of the Dead if set in the Scottish Highlands and Alex Gray does an excellent job of 'selling' the area to the reader despite the darkness of the story.

Lorimer is on a break with his friend, Daniel, when they stumble upon a body. A short time later, another body is found and Lorimer returns with his Team to investigate. Are these connected and could they be related to an historical massacre?

With a great cast of characters, this is an intriguing mystery with twists and is a great edition to the series and one that I would recommend to lovers of this genre.

Thank you to Little, Brown Book Group and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

Inexperienced players may have other players tell them what to do. They are more of a body than a player. (0 more)
I had fun playing with friends who never played before. When introducing the game to new players the group told new players how to play their characters over letting making their own decision. Less charismatic players tend to sit on backburner.
  
Pirate fever has taken over Warner Pier, but when a body turns up, Lee realizes things aren't all fun and games any more. The book started out feeling very scattered, but once things settled down, I really got into the story. And, everything tied together nicely in the end.
