A review by annarella
In the Blood by Margaret Kirk
4.0
An atmospheric, dark and gripping crime thriller that kept on the edge till the end.
It's the first book I read in this series and bought the rest as I think it's very interesting.
It's a gothic novel with plenty of references to occult practices and great descriptions of the Orkneys.
The characters are interesting and fleshed, the mystery is solid and kept me guessing.
I found it compelling and entertaining.
Even if it's the third in a series it can be read as a stand-alone.
One note: there's plenty of references to the solution of previous cases and I think it would be better to read the books in order.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
