lady_l 's review for:
Little Sister
by Gytha Lodge
Received an ARC via NetGalley.
To be perfectly honest, I requested this book by mistake, having not realized that it was part of a detective series. I considered declining the review instead, bc I hate starting a series in the middle. I figured I could probably be ok, given that each case is it’s own story.
Well, I am glad I decided to give it a shot. I’m surprised the series hasn’t been on my radar before. I guess there’s a lot more UK detective series out there (why are they always so much better than American ones?). I enjoyed the puzzle of main story, it was interesting and complex, and kept me hooked. But I also really enjoyed the dynamic of the team. I do feel like I have missed some stuff there but not enough that I felt lost. Their personal lives weren’t central to the story. However, they do make me want to go back and read the three stories that preceded it. I hope they are just as intricately plotted.
I will say that I usually don’t like not having a central narrator. Jonah is supposed to be the main character but it gives third person perspective to the others. Usually that bugs me but the story gives enough of itself to each of them that it didn’t take anything away.
I’m so happy this series is on my radar now, even by mistake. Looking forward to catching up to this one and keeping an eye out for future stories.
