A great quarantine listen. My interest in finding out the truth kept me focused.

Geweldig boek! Vlotte verhaallijnen, spannend, en een goed, logisch einde: alles wat een goede thriller nodig heeft. De emoties van de personage waren herkenbaar en voelbaar. Dit was mijn eerste boek van McDermid, maar er gaan er zeker meer volgen.

The series has started to slow down at this point not in a bad way just not as great as the first few books. A cold in-site into Tony’s past very chilling and tear jerking. The plot was very slow. Still a brilliant book just wish Tony was more involved.

One of the best Tony Hill/Carol Jordan books. Brought to life new aspects of the characters.

Started this, but didn't get into it and it had to get back to the library. Might come back to it, but it isn't initially as gripping as her books usually are.

*Finished, finally. Good in the end, but not her usual grab-you-from-the-first M.O.

It's been a while since I've had the chance to catch up with Carol Jordan and Tony Hill, the main characters in one of Val McDermid's ongoing series. They're just as broken and fascinating as ever and Mcdermid's style is fast-paced and engrossing.
