A review by kirkw1972
Portraits of the Dead by John Nicholl

2.0

I found this book quite frustrating. It had an excellent premise but I didn't think it lived up to it. I was left wanting a whole lot more. I'm not sure why it's classed as a DI Gravel book as he was barely in it. The ending happened way too fast and the last chapter just made no sense to me at all. 

It didn't give me anything to connect with any of the characters. I would have liked more of Emma; how she was feeling, her thought process for escape, dealing with her injuries. It was sadly lacking. I really don;t like giving less than 3 stars for a book but sadly this one didn't hit many positive notes for me.
