A review by bookish_predator
The Book of Souls by James Oswald
5.0
Book 2 in the Inspector McLean series and I'm still really enjoying them.
This one is about the Christmas Killer, a man who devastated Tony before he put him away for life, it starts with his funeral and then the death of a woman that is exactly the same MO of the previously mentioned Christmas Killer.
It's just as good as the first book, the characters are being drawn out more, their personalities meshing well with each other, the humour is still there and so is the violence. I still think Duguid is a dick but he's getting worse, nice bit of departmental friction to mix it all up.
I recommend this series, it's a good police procedural and I am currently reading book 3 to see if it stays just as good as the previous 2. I somehow think it will be.
*Huge thanks to James Oswald, Penguin UK - Michael Joseph and NetGalley for this copy which I chose to read and all opinions are my own*
