Resumen del Editor

Life is full of choices. Death... is chosen for you...

When the body of a missing tourist is discovered slain in the foothills of the Cuillin Mountain range, it falls to D.I. Duncan McAdam and his small team to discover how he came to be there and who would have a motive to kill him.

The summer season is a welcome distraction following a brutal and challenging winter. The Isle of Skye is booming with a revitalised tourist trade after a tough few years, and the Misty Isle is on course for its best year for visitors on record. But one person has not received the warm greeting the islanders are famed for. Here, on the inner Hebridean island, long-held secrets, past crimes and burning resentment are set to be unveiled in the most brutal fashion.

Some people come to the island to experience a return to nature, others to detach from their hectic lives seeking a simpler existence. And then there are those who wish to escape their past and begin again. These people believe they are making a fresh start but overlook one universal truth, their sins come with them... and there will be a reckoning...

The Cuillin Dead is the fourth book in the new Amazon #1 bestselling Misty Isle series from the multi-million selling crime writer, J M Dalgliesh, the author of the Hidden Norfolk and Dark Yorkshire books.

Angus King is the best.

This has been my least favorite of the series. That being said, it’s still a good book. I had a hard time keeping track of characters and the story wasn’t as interesting as previous books. And for some reason I don’t care for Grace. But I still look forward to the next book.

And, as usual, the narration by Angus King is wonderful.

Atmospheric, interesting and enjoyable mystery

This series of murder mysteries set on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, are atmospheric, complicated and satisfying. I had the added bonus of listening to the books on Audible with Angus King narrating (yeah). The books have a theme in that the murders all occur different, remote and rugged settings. The 2 main police detective characters are pretty well fleshed out and Duncan, the DI who returns to his hometown is a complex person. The relationships with his family and previous friends are strained. I felt that the previous books all showed predominantly unhappy relationships and marriages. This book is better but life on the island seems bleak for locals. The plot of The Cuillin Dead is interesting with a tight group of buddies having a bachelor trip but events from the military lives of several characters start to impact them. There are some really good secondary bad guys like Charlie and Axel. They are enjoyable. The descriptions of the island and the challenging terrain and weather that the police have to deal with make the story even better.

A nice book

I like this series very much, and I have read many books by this author. Both on paper and on audible. The voice actor made some odd choices on voices. Some were so slow and stupid sounding that I skipped to the next chapter. Surprising, because I think in general the Narrator is very good.
My only complaint about what is generally an enjoyable book.

Use a thesaurus

Good story, love the insights into Skye. However, I encourage the author to find other words for pensive and pensively. Throughout the series, those two words occurred with very noticeable frequency. Surely a writer of this calibre has other words available. I'm quite sure the editors do.

It was a good story.

The story started a bit slowly for me but improved as it went along. The main character is becoming deeper as more is revealed. However, biggest problem is that I found the narrator really hard to understand. It wasn’t the Scottish accent of main male and female characters, but everyone else- particularly Duncan’s colleagues. One of them sounds like he’s somewhat brain damaged - which he isn’t- but imho this narrator’s interpretation of him sounds wrong. Perhaps it could be audio problem of recording? But I listened on several different headsets and still problematic for me. It’s distracting enough that if Angus King continues to narrate subsequent books, I will probably give them a miss and opt for the Kindle version where I can read and make the voices in my own head. ☺️
