A review by janpd24
Dark Waters by G.R. Halliday

3.0

This is the second Monica Kennedy book I tried, and this was a definite improvement (couldn't finish the earlier one). It is set in one of my favourite places in the world, the Scottish Highlands, even though the grimy side of it portrayed is not at all awe-inspiring. There is a dark, twisty mystery at the centre, and plenty of characters in the story. I would love to see how this series evolves.

There is a lot of repetition in the narrative, for example, the multiple references to the traumatic events of the previous book. I think I got it after the first dozen times. We never get to know what exactly happened, perhaps a bit not to spoil it for readers who aren't reading in sequence.
