I don't remember how I found out about this book but wow. It's a wonderful police procedural with real police and well-fleshed out bad guys. I strongly recommend this for Tana French fans or really anyone who loves compelling crime dramas.

I consumed this one in a matter of days. Which, given how many other things I've been doing, is really saying something.

I gave it a 8.5/10 on my personal scale.

I read the first few chapters and then the last couple chapters. The dialogue was unbelievably stupid - people just don't talk that way. And the whodunit was also presented in the first few chapters - there was no mystery.

This was the first Kathleen George book I have read and I feel like if I had started from the beginning and gotten to know the characters better I would have enjoyed the book more, having said that does not mean I didn't enjoy it because I did.

It was a great police procedural. We pretty much knew from the beginning who the murderer was but we didn't know who else might become a victim, and how the other characters were involved. Diligent police work and asking the right questions and team work from the murder squad got the job done.

I really enjoyed the characters but I felt like I was missing something in their interactions.

I will definitely go back and read the previous books in the series and I look forward to learning more about each of the detectives.
