A review by mftaylor
Shadows by Paul Finch

2.0

Another new author for me but not a story I really enjoyed.
DC Lucy Clayburn is a female cop in Manchester. Her father, although very few know it, is a dangerous gangster. Lucy is working hard at solving her cases as well as trying to make it onto the Robbery Squad. She's dealing with numerous robberies and violent offenders and eventually stumbles onto a link between cases that may prove deadly.
The idea sounds great but again I found there was way too much going on for just one story. A lot of characters that it's hard to keep everyone straight. There's also the use of regional language and slang that makes the book a little hard to follow at times. Even though there is so much gong on the outcome is still pretty predictable.
