See Them Run by Marion Todd Book Summary

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BLOODY SCOTLAND SCOTTISH CRIME DEBUT OF THE YEAR 2020

In a famous Scottish town, someone is bent on murder – but why?

On the night of a wedding celebration, one guest meets a grisly end when he’s killed in a hit-and-run. A card bearing the number ‘5’ has been placed on the victim’s chest. DI Clare Mackay, who recently moved from Glasgow to join the St Andrews force, leads the investigation. The following night another victim is struck down and a number ‘4’ card is at the scene. Clare and her team realise they’re against the clock to find a killer stalking the streets of the picturesque Scottish town and bent on carrying out three more murders.

To prevent further deaths, the police have to uncover the link between the victims. But those involved have a lot more at stake than first meets the eye. If Clare wants to solve the case she must face her own past and discover the deepest secrets of the victims – and the killer.

Don’t miss the page-turning first novel in a gripping series featuring DI Clare Mackay, perfect for fans of Alex Gray, D. S. Butler and Rachel Amphlett.

Well thought out. Enjoyed this book, a quick read, quite compelling.

A must read. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Kept me on the edges of my seat! Claire is a force to be reckoned with, will definitely continue reading the series!

See Them Run. Great murder mystery! Loved the characters and all the info. Can’t wait to read more.

Great Job. Fantastic police procedural novel and a gripping story.

See Them Run. Well written. Reading about serial killers is never easy but well done. Not vulgar or detailed x- rated. Hope you continue to write this way.

See Them Run. Hard to put this one down. A well written and intriguing mystery. Should appeal to any mystery lover.

Great debut for Detective Clare Mackay. A great, well-paced effort from Marion Todd. The plot could easily be transposed onto the screen and would be right at home as a prime time tv drama. Boasting an interesting lead character, with a three dimensional supporting cast and gritty narrative, this is a great read for crime thriller fans.

Really enjoyable crime novel. I was gripped from the first few pages. Great characters and lots of twists and turns in the plot line. Highly recommended.

See them Run. A great read. It had me hooked from the very start and I couldn’t put it down.

Keeps moving. The action moves along briskly in a no nonsense fashion. A series of small steps, each seemingly innocuous, lead you through this riveting tale. The revelations are frequent, making it an easy novel to read. A super addition to the crime/detective genre.

Thoroughly absorbing and credible detective story. It makes a change to pick up a crime novel these days that has a credible plot line and relies on proper police enquiries to unmask the miscreant. This falls directly into that category. I give it a four star rating rather than a five only because of the main character’s back story that over-intrudes and adds nothing to the substance of the tale. Such a pity that modern authors believe it to be necessary. Still, it is much worse in most other new novels and is only a relatively minor distraction here. A really enjoyable read and I hope that the author continues to concentrate on crime-solving in her next works and does not overdevelop the private life of her heroine.

A Great Read. A very easy read with a great start to the book. Could not put the book down.

Read in two days. Picking a book up whenever I have a few spare minutes is a sign of a first rate book as far as I’m concerned. This was a good read with plenty going on all the time. We follow the police, mainly DI Clare, as they solve a series of interlinked crimes. It would perhaps seem wrong to say I found the story enjoyable given the subject matter but enjoy it I did! Nothing in the writing style jarred so I found it an easy read.

Behind closed doors, what really happens?. Well crafted, action packed crime - bordering the line between empathy and revulsion - who at the end was really the guilty party.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Just found this author, really enjoyed this first in the series, will continue, recommended.

Well worth an afternoon!. Excellent, love the author’s writing style which makes this story so easy to read. Once started I didn’t want to put it down.

The perfect read. This book is brilliant, fab story. Highly recommended.

See them run. New author for me. Brilliant first book looking forward to next one.

Great book. Great book, gripping storyline couldn’t put it down.

Great read. Enjoyable and hard to put down

A gripping read 👍. Hard to put down, very well written. A great read.

See Them Run.. Absolute fantastic debut novel. Had me gripped right from the start. Can’t wait to read number 2 in the series.

Great detective novel. Very good read, complex and believable, for a change I‘m happy it‘s a serial. Is there a prequeal ? Read it, you won‘t be disappointed.

Outstanding. First book I’ve read in a while and what a great way to get back into it. Brilliant book from start to finish. If you like suspense, read this!

Boring. Really tried to get into it but couldn’t

Entertaining. I really enjoyed the book. The characters are so believable. I’m ready for the next one

Great story.. Great story however it could do with another edit. There are lots of inconsistencies in the middle section. But otherwise, well done

A brillant start to a new series. Wow what stunning debut and cracking read! I can not express enough how much I loved this book. If I had of been reading a physical copy of this book, I would of had a number of paper cuts as I couldn’t race through the pages quick enough! As it was, I kept skipping pages on my kindle in my haste to turn the page and had to slow down which was so hard to do. Marion took my hostage right from the start and did not let me go until the final word! I read this in one sitting as I had to know how it was gong to unfold and I was not disappointed. Not many books keep me up reading all night but there was no chance of me stopping with this one. Marion has created a plot that is both compelling, original and refreshing. Set in the picturesque small sea side town of St Andrews, men of the community are being murdered and interestling a number is being left at the scene of the crime on the murder victim. Starting at 5, at first DI Clare Mackay is at a loss as to what this could mean, but when another body turns up with the calling card of the number 4 left behind, she knows then that these murders are linked and has her work cut out for her in finding out what connects these men before the killer gets to number 1. When revealed it is shocking, heartbreaking and in a turn of events, has you actually feeling sympathy for the killer. I loved the character of DI Clare Mackay. She is a strong woman that is tough but fair and she carries the story on her shoulders well. She is not without flaws but this just adds to her appeal. She is relentless in her approach in catching the killer and she is not one to cower away, when her methods are questioned by senior staff. She takes it on the chin but she has confidence in her instincts to still solve the case no matter what. She has been brought to life through the pages perfectly and I look forward to getting to know her more in future books. Another standout for me was Chris. I loved how he and Clare worked together and I also look forward to more of him in future books. All of the other supporting characters likeable and unlikable are all very well developed and been written extremely well. I connected to Marion’s writing right from the get go. It is eloquent, articulate and very fluent. This story has been extremely well researched in police procedures and written with so much confidence, that I was surprised when I read in Marion’s bio she has no links or background in this type of work. She has done a great job in making you believe this is the case, where some authors are unable to do so as realistically as Marion has done. Through the writing you feel that you are also in the story and the description of St Andrews, brings the town to life beautifully and one I would love to visit one day. I have read some amazing books that are the first in a series this year, but I have to say that See Them Run is the standout for me. It is definitely in my top 5 books of the year with Marion being my breakout author of 2019. I am so looking forward to the second book in the series, In Plain Sight which is definitely one of my most anticipated books for 2020. I am thankful that I have found another extremely talent author to add to my all time favourites. It was an absolute pleasure to be able to read and review See Them Run and I look forward to hopefully many more books in this series. Thank-you to NetGalley, Canelo and Marion Todd for allowing me to read an advance copy of See Them Run which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Didn’t want it to end. Fantastic read ~ twists and turns throughout! Loved it!! Wanted to go straight for the next case...

See them Run. Loved it

Welcome to St Andrews. Excellent thriller that keeps you guessing, based in my home county of Fife providing a comforting familiarity. I particularly enjoyed the sub plots and interrelationships throughout the book. Well done Marion
