Val McDermid and William McIlvanney Out of the Dark A DCI Christine Caplan Thriller Book 3 This is the first book I ve read by Caro Ramsay There was no problem with not having read the previous books in the series other than possibly some bits of backstory to some of the characters I m not sure whether I d have enjoyed it if I d read the others because I really struggled to form any connection with any of the characters I found the pace slow and had to stop often for a break which is unusual for me I did manage to finish but can t say that any of it particularly stuck in my head I won t be reading any from this series English DCI Christine Caplan 3Caplan s evening starts with two dead bodies.

Book out of the darkness

Caro Ramsay was born and educated in Glasgow She has been writing stories since she was five years old developing a keen interest in crime fiction and a passion for the genre that lead her to write Absolution her first novel A young woman is missing But is she in hiding or has she been captured A dying cop asks DCI Christine Caplan to fulfil her last to investigate a cold case that s still preying on her mind The naked body of a young man that was found in a lonely wood dismissed as a down and out by her superiors Caplan connects the case to other victims left to die in the bleak Scottish forests injured and unable to escape As the scent grows stronger the cold cases suddenly seem dangerously hot In this thrilling hunt for the missing girl Caplan must trace where love and control get out of hand and question where power lies in any relationship Meanwhile the dark nights of Scotland conceal a terrifying game of cat and mouse This gripping Scottish police procedural meets twisted psychological thriller featuring a complex and fascinating female protagonist is a perfect choice for fans of tartan noir and authors Ian Rankin apparent suicides in a quiet cul de sac and no one hears a thing DS Craigo is placed in charge of that though both officers know something is off with the crime scene whilst she is sent to Glen Douglas After a tortuous and mysterious journey in the dark close to Ministry of Defence land there s another body and it s a strange one It s certainly suspicious and definitely unexplained As if that s not enough Caplan s dying friend Rachel asks her to investigate a missing person cold case that s been troubling her final days Does this have any links to a current missing person enquiry that Bethany Robertson As ever Caplan s life is a busy one but she has a good small team to back her up Further dogged investigation reveals the presence of something much bigger and darker than they could ever have envisioned and several cold cases merge into one large distressing one I really like the character of Caplan and feel that Caro Ramsay has created someone that you can relate to who feels authentic and who you can like Not only are the cases gripping but you got a good blend of the demands of a ranking officer with just the right balance of the personal in order to add to the realism They are good supporting characters in the police team Craigo is a fascinating one and Mackie is entertaining The higher ranking officers stonewall as per usual worrying about budgets I m sure that s true Christine s husband Aklan features too and he inadvertently provides some pertinent information for the enquiry. Crime Out of the darkness The story is told at a steady pace it s never especially fast except towards the end but I like the reflective way in which it s told and that aids the readers thinking too The case is a real puzzle as the scale reveals itself it becomes increasingly shocking and horrifying Who is behind what s been happening and continues to evade capture Clearly they are clever obstructive and seem in control as it becomes apparent that a dangerous and deadly cat and mouse game is underway The author has chosen some great settings throughout rural Scotland that gives the right of atmosphere to a suspenseful and tense read. Out of the dark 1988 The suspicions Caplan has are proving accurate and the hunt is on The ending is a good one and my heart is in my mouth in one terrifying scenario Overall this is another entertaining read from this author and if you like Tartan Noir check the series out it s a good one With thanks to NetGalley and especially to Severn House for the much appreciated arc in return for an honest review English OUT OF THE DARK is Book 3 of the DCI Christine Caplan thriller series and it moves at a fast pace I have not read the first two books in the series and so I wasn t sure whether I was missing important background by starting with 3 Information about Caplan s family situation was explained early in the story so I felt I had a good grasp of that There was less information provided about her investigation team and I floundered when trying to unravel their strengths and weaknesses Many team members were named but their backgrounds left blank To me they were like pieces moving on a chessboard just names with no personality However the main thrust of the novel is a series of cases being investigated by Caplan and her team 1 It begins with a case that appears to be either a double suicide or one suicide and one naturally caused death Peter Todd had committed suicide while his long term partner Roderick Taylor laid dead in his upstairs bed Taylor was dying and it s bothered her enough that it s still on her mind as she s dying People don t use the last piece of energy they have for something that doesn t bother them 4 Finally the POV is briefly changed and we are witnesses to the kidnapping of Bethany Robertson Soon afterwards Caplan is asked to look into why she has disappeared Bethany hasn t been missing long enough for it to become an official case but her father is worried he is able to get a missing person case started because he has links to a former senior officer Rachel s husband who is now retired Through frequent updates via Bethany s POV the reader knows that she is in great danger and that Caplan is correct in prioritizing the search for Bethany. Out of the Dark kindle cloud By the 65% mark Caplan is quite sure that she knows who the villains are but the challenge is proving it and finding the missing Bethany This is a fast paced thriller with an emphasis on unraveling the interconnections among several different cases The only problems I had with it were 1 keeping track of all the members of Caplan s team and 2 understanding how the Rod Todd case fit into the overall picture Out of the Dark Will be released in North America on August 6 2024. Crime Out of the darkness Thanks to Severn House for providing an electronic copy of this book via NetGallry This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinions English In this latest from Caro Ramsay we return to the life and work of DCI Christine Caplan with the third book of the series This is an intense police procedural involving multiple layers of police personnel in a missing person case with ever increasing ramifications What begins with the dying wish of a former police academy classmate to come to her hospice bedside leads to a confusing hunt for potential victims of a sadistic killer or group And then another person goes missing This is a complex procedural which portrays police as individuals with personalities and characteristics that make them part of this successful though eccentric team Caplan herself has an interesting backstory which continues to develop in each book I recommend this series and Caro Ramsay s books in general as all I have read have been well written and engaging This book could be read as a standalone but I would recommend starting with the first two in the series The Devil Stone and In Her Blood in order to follow the development of the personal and professional relationships. Out of the dark audiobook DCI Christine Caplan is investigating the home death and hanging of two partners the disappearance of two young women and bodies found in outlying areas of Scotland Plus an old police friend of hers wants her to look into the old cases of disappearing men and missing girls The friend is dying of cancer and it s her last wish There aren t enough hours in the day for Caplan This is a taut and well written book with some incredibly evil people in it.

This is the first book I have read by this author so I wasn t sure what to expect What I got was a wonderful sense of the amazing Scottish setting and a very well written and strong lead character it was easy to like and root for DCI Caplan I probably should point out that this is the third in a series and whilst it works as a standalone I feel there are details that had I had prior knowledge of would have made the myriad of characters easier to follow and place there are so many characters to remember I feel that the author could have made keeping track of the characters easier by being consistent with their names sometimes referring to them by surname and then other times using their Christian names this aided my confusion I also found the tale hard to follow even though the story runs at a slow pace there is such a lot going on historic murders current murders a missing girl and a domestic abuse case to name a few elements In conclusion I think the storyline has potential and there are some exceptionally evil characters but even they weren t enough to keep my mind from wandering English I am a big fan of this author s Anderson and Costello series so it was a no brainer that I would also pounce on this a series featuring DCI Christine Caplan This book being the third and usual series rules applySo in this her third outing we start with Christine being called to the scene of two dead bodies that are probably suicides maybe murder suicide or even natural death suicide Found in a quiet neighbourhood with no witnesses but something appears to be a bit off with the whys and wherefores But Christine has to leave Craigo there as she is called to the scene of another body This time definitely suspicious The body appeared between MoD patrols but had been dead for longer than the gap A definite body dump Meanwhile an old ex cop friend of Christine s who is on end of life care in a hospice summons her and their two other friends to ask that she re examine an old cold case InterestingNow does all this sound like something I d like to get my teeth into you bet your life I do It s all a bit disjointed and convoluted and interconnected and frustrating but all in a good way Until eventually it all starts to come together after the disappearance of Bethany a young woman vanishing after a volunteering shift Which throws another cat amongst the already flapping pigeons Honestly you just have to get on a read this book preferably with all you wits about you And discover all the shocking secrets that eventually start to pour out Christine is one formidable woman with her challenges at home with partner Aklen and an unfinished house and those at work mostly around budget and resources But she juggles it all well Pacing is good and matches the narrative all the way through Slow and steady initially as all the pieces are placed ramping up with each revelation and shock delivered along the way. Kindle Out of the dark review There are a lot of characters Maybe too many but they all have their parts to play even the smallest is well described Could be useful writing a cast list if you struggle But the occasional confusion and frustration is all worth it when the truth is finally laid bare In all cases Shocking though it is And brutal But a mostly satisfying conclusion is delivered. Pdf out of the dust My thanks go to the Publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book English This is the latest from Caro Ramsay in a favourite Scottish crime series featuring DCI Christine Caplan her life settled as she lives in a caravan with husband former architect Aklen who seems to be recovering in the beauty of the rural surroundings whilst the building works continue on their dilapidated cottage Caplan is surprised when a former police colleague she had not kept in touch with Rachel Ghillies a dying cancer patient in a hospice married to former senior officer Rory asks her and Lizzie Fergusson to visit her on her deathbed A barely coherent Rachel clearly in a lot of pain asks them to look into a cold case she had been investigating below the radar the names are not familiar and barely make sense but what is clear Rachel does not want them to let Rory know. Out of the Dark crime scene images Caplan finds herself at a murder suicide Roderick Taylor and Peter Todd at their home but something about the scene does not feel quite right This is followed with her making her way to Glen Douglas and MOD territory where there is the nightmare sight of a horrifyingly badly beaten body of a young male unrecognisable with a missing tooth It is going to take some work to identify him as no such person has been reported missing Why An anxious and fearful father photographs his daughter Bethany on her way to volunteer but she never returns home abducted it would seem from a park Rory using his influence contacts Caplan persuading her to mount a hunt for her Could there possibly be any connection between what happens to Bethany and the missing cold case victims identified by Rachel Caplan is supported by her small determined and hardworking police team but the workload generated by the cases is overwhelming and despite what help Sarah Linden gives she is being starved of resources are there powers keen to see her not succeed However nothing is going to put her off in what is the most complex and gruesomely horrendous of cold cases with numerous victims and the urgent need to locate a Bethany who is thought to be in grave danger This is a brilliant addition to Ramsay s ish crime series I cannot wait for the next book Highly recommended to fans of Scottish crime and other readers new to the author Many thanks to the publisher for an ARC English In this third book of the series DCI Christine Caplan is now content with her move to Conchie in Scotland and her small team of three are working well She and her husband Aklan are restoring an old cottage while living on a caravan onsite Aklan s mental health is improving as he gets involved in the project and her two kids are busy leading their own lives Caplan is involved in two cases one investigating the apparent suicide of a man after the death at home of his partner supposedly from a terminal illness and the other a series of cold case murders she was alerted to by a dying colleague When the body of a badly beaten naked body in the woods is found bearing similarities to the cold cases Caplan realises someone has been killing people for a long time The disappearance of a young woman makes her fear that she has been abducted by the same killer or killers The plot builds steadily as Caplan and her small team try to investigate multiple cases on their own without additional funding from above The darkness of the plot and the sense of pure evil is served well by the settings in the remote deep dark woods as the plot boils to its horrifying climax I like Caplan s character as a practical and capable detective who gets things done very much although felt there was less development of her three team mates in this novel While I mostly enjoyed this one especially the development and twists in the plot I didn t felt the motives behind the killings were strongly convincing and there were some elements that I felt needed explanation such as why the victims had to have their left canine tooth removed and their left leg broken 3. Out of the Dark epub free 5 With thanks to Severn House via Netgalley for a copy to read English Sadly Out of the Dark didn t work for me This was my first book in the DCI Caplan series so maybe I missed some things in the first books The plot had so much potential and was interesting but the execution fell short for me Overall it didn t feel very cohesive It opens with two dead bodies and an investigation starting but then that investigation is only mentioned a few times And it still wasn t clear to me what happened to them or why I might have overlooked that part but it just felt disconnected to the main storyline I also struggled at times to follow the writing There were parts with dialogue where it wasn t clear who was speaking or being spoken about Pronouns were used but without specifying which he she him her was being referred to I did really enjoy the police procedural aspect of this book The most interesting parts were when Caplan was reviewing old cases and trying to connect the dots with her current case to past incidents, Out of the dark and into the light The middle part of the novel involves chasing all the clues and connections, Out of the dark into the light It was the small things that would solve the case The devil was in the details, Out of the dark cast Thanks to Severn House and NetGalley for an eARC of this book English Thank you NetGalley and Severn House for the eARC, Out of the dark audiobook Caplan Craigo and the others on her team are all terrific I love Craigo he s such an undervalued and fun character: Out of the Dark kindle book All in all a cracking addition to what is now a well established series Roll on next time.
