Dead Beat by Val McDermid

4.0

Feisty heroine, great 'whodunnit' plot and still enjoyable despite some elements feeling 'dated' - this novel was written in the early 1990s. (Anyone out there still using floppy discs?!) Still, chasing down the bad guys remains the same, right? Characterisation, plot and pace of the writing still very relevant, including the moments of humorous banter and witty retorts from the enigmatic Kate Brannigan. I enjoyed this enough to read the next in the series.
