Leuke, relaxte detective. Het plot zie je niet van mijlenver aankomen, maar is ook niet extreem ingewikkeld. De beschrijvingen van Riley zijn ontspannen te noemen, ze pent de klassieke 'stadse topdetective neemt zaak aan in slaperig stadje waar iedereen elkaar kent' sfeervol neer, je kunt de kustplaats goed voor je zien. Het leest dus makkelijk weg, maar is tegelijkertijd ook spannend. Je denkt echt met de detective mee.

This was an enjoyable read. I loved that we have the chance to read Lucinda's only murder mystery. 

It wasn't a great read, but still enjoyable enough. Much of it was predictable

, and I wish the ending wasn't just a verbal rundown of the events that transpired

Ein solider Krimi, der scheinbar ein wenig unter der recht groben Übersetzung gelitten hat. Der Plot an sich war interessant, die Charaktere gut portraitiert, aber alles in allem sehr langatmig und die Übersetzung wirkte wie gesagt sehr unnatürlich.

Etwas seltsam ist, dass alle mit David Millar so sympathisieren, der trotz aller löblichen Eigenschaften trotzdem seine Frau betrunken attackiert hat?! Naja.

Your average, easy read thriller.  Particularly enjoyed being able to follow the clues and stay just slightly ahead of the detective.  No silly last minute perpetrator or motive was pulled out to solve the mystery.  All fit together.

The book was good overall and I would rate it a 5 if it weren't for the homo characters including.

 

That wasn't very attractive and familiar to read😒
