The Hangman's Song by James Oswald
2.0
Typically I have no issues jumping right into the middle of a series. I am not one of those people that refuses to read a book unless I have read the prior books in the series. Good thing or I would miss out on some good series. Sadly, this book did not draw me in enough to really want to check out more books in this series.
I did not connect with the characters. Some of this might have to do with the fact that I had not read the prior books so I did not develop a relationship with Inspector McLean. Again I say "some" only because again I have jumped into series and felt connections. I thought despite my instant connection with Inspector McLean that I would like this book as the bodies started piling up. Yet after a few bodies the story stood still and went into slow motion with a lot of talking. I put the book down and walked away for a while and came back but it did not get better for me and I finally put it down after a third of the way in.
