This second installment of Kat & Lock did not disappoint.
The Future Policing Unit (FPU) that was created at the end of Book 1 has been given its first live case, what has been called in the press, "The Coventry Crucifier".
I was totally gripped, the writing was excellent, I could really imagine each member of the FPU, Lock in particular had grown since book 1, I felt so sad for him has he wrestled with issues he experienced whilst interacting with the world, realising what he was missing out on being a hologram.
The plot gave a new fresh take on violence by men, and how women are made to change their behaviours, etc and how it would look if things were turned on their head and men were asked to do similar to protect themselves.
Kat's story also progressed in this book as she continued to grieve her husband and the grieving process was sensitively covered in this sub-plot (The author obviously using her own experiences in the character of Kat)
I look forward to the next book in the series to see how the team and in particular, Lock progresses.
