Reviews

Finally broke my mediocre/blech book streak! This was a great story with interesting characters and development. I enjoyed the heck out of the book, my only complaint being that a few parts seemed to drag a little. Overall though, it was a really good book that seems to be a great start to a series. I will definitely be continuing with DI Callanach's stories

Good thriller

Review previously placed on my blog:

I have read Perfect remains by Helen Fields. This is the first book in the D.I. Callanach series. I read a copy from the library whilst listening to the audiobook. Read this because this series has been on my tbr for a while and I really wanted to read a thriller. Hope I can fit it in for Magical Readathon somewhere, but we shall see. This is an adult crime thriller.

This was great. I have found out that these are the thrillers I actually enjoy. Basically detectives (or someone else like a journalist) figuring out who did it. I also like that we have the perspective of the killer as well. In this one I really liked all the characters, which is great because I can continue the series. The plot was very well done as well.
