I enjoyed this book more than the first one in the series. Osman has really grown as a writer and the story was more gripping and exciting than his first novel. Although at points, I found the dialogue a little cringy and some of the actions of the police department a little farfetched, I enjoyed the development of the characters and the introduction of new characters helped to more the story along. The story of Elizabeth's past job and ex-husband was believable and helps to add depth to her character and helps to explain her thought processes.
