The Cuillin Dead

A D.I. Duncan McAdam Mystery (The Misty Isle, Book 4)

By: J M Dalgliesh

Narrated by: Angus King

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.

Another hit for Dalgleish and Angus King!

Can't wait to read the next book in the series! In love with Duncan, Isle of Skye and Angus King!

Liked it!

Good story. I did not actually know who did what, it was an original idea.

Great mystery, challenged me

I absolutely do not want to , listen, read, or hear about the demise of a pet.

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. ☺️

I really liked it

Good book,good series. Angus King is a narrator that can put you right in the book. Thank u
