A Place of Execution by Val McDermid

5.0

Abso-bloody-lutely wonderful. The reviewer quoted on the back cover says something along the lines of "McDermid may write better books in the future, but I can't see how." I can only concur - I'm a fan and I was never going to hate it but this was stunning. My scale is in need of recalibration, six point five stars.
