Book 4 of 9 done for the McIlvanney Prize long list. While I thought there were some interesting twists, I hated all of the characters. The only saving grace for this book was the audiobook narrator-Alan Cumming. If it hadn‘t been for him, I would have bailed.

Rilke, an auctioneer is given a hot tip, by his friend Jojo, about a family looking to unload their entire estate. The next day Jojo is found dead. The tip turns out to be the real deal, but as Rilke prepares for the auction a number of strange events occur. I never really got into this one. The ending was a complete letdown. Thx to NetGalley & Publishers Group Canada for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
