I don’t normally read crime but after hearing good things I finally decided to give this one a go. My god I was not expecting to be pulled into the story in such a way. I may have to read more crime novels because this one was really good. I loved the way everything progressed and the varying ways the clues are presented. The EPQ framing for the case was something I haven’t really seen before and I actually quite like it.
