A rollicking read, good classic detective novel fare with compelling characters and intrigue in a number of directions that pulled me along. The flashback scenes added texture and additional depth, and I found the lead character believable and relatable. It was nice that you didn't have to have read the previous to understand which can be annoying in detective series. Good holiday reading.

OMG THIS BOOKS!!!! WOWWWWW!! CANNOT WAIT FOR YOU GUYS TO READ IT ONCE IT GETS RELEASED.
Another well-researched police procedural crime novel from Halliday, with a sharp delivery and clever twists, set in the gloomy backdrop of Inverness.
A female serial killer and a body found under the marsh after 20 years means that things get more difficult for Monica on top of personal issues. Loved the moments between Monica and Tosh, their interactions were very interesting from a psychological perspective.
The desolation of the highlands is palpable and setting this book to perfection.

I flew through this book and really enjoyed it.
Halliday’s writing style took a definite change from his previous novel, which I also loved. The tone of this novel was far less dark, although no less mysterious and gripping. I did not see the ending coming at all!

I read and liked all the books in this series. This one is the best so far: it kept me guessing even the author played fair.
Great characters, gripping plot.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I enjoyed this a lot. Not too gory and well packed and thought out throughout. I liked the slightly non traditional ending presented as well. Easy to pick up and read as a standalone despite that it's the 3rd book in a series.

Under the Marsh amazing, fast paced and gripping crime thriller set in Inverness and the surrounding area. I absolutely loved reading about area (where I live) and I could not stop reading!! I would 100% recommend this, and the first two books of the series.
