I love this series and this was absolutely my favourite so far! Though you need to have read all the others to really appreciate it. 

This story really focused on motherhood and relationships. I also loved seeing the character development of the regular cast.

Ruth Galloway works on a documentary about the infamous Mother Hook, who allegedly killed her foster children. DCI Nelson investigates a mother with three dead children as well as a kidnapper.
PROS:
  • Interactions with new characters change the dynamics of established relationships
  • Great atmosphere and tension
  • Happy endings come at a cost for some characters
CONS:
  • Ruth and Nelson continue their dance
  • One incident where “transsexual” rather than transgender is used. An earlier incident used “gender” to mean sex at birth.
