I love this series. Can't want for the next installment. Cormac O'Reilly is the british Jackson Brodie and I'm here for it.

Interestingly, what other reviews have praised in this book is the reason I didn't like it as much as the others - there was too much going on. Whether it is my state of mind at the moment or the fact that some of the "what a coincidence" stuff is too far-fetched, I found this a pretty typical detective novel but nothing special.

I really like the Cormac Reilly Series! It is a good change to have the point of view of the detective and not just someone related to the victim.

Well, damn. I wasn't expecting that. Makes me wonder how real it could be... It doesn't take much to think about how corrupt/dirty anyone can become. All in the name of greed and selfishness. Who watches the watchers? Also, what's next for Cormac? Please, please, please (!) let there be another book.
