Dead Inside by Noelle Holten
3.0
Decent-ish detective novel. Overall engaging story with good characters for the most part. The killer was way way way out there though, at least with how little emphasis was placed on their skill.
The police part though suffers. There's a good depiction of a UK police team with somewhat solid understanding of how things are supposed to work. But there's very little actual police work done and some gaping holes (I was especially bothered by the general questions actually asked of the shrink and the way the substance was flat out ignored for so long - that should've been basic policing).
As mentioned overall it shows promise so I'm willing to give the next book in the series a chance.
