“People aren't born bigoted. They are made that way.”

I know I'm SO late when it comes to the DI Kim Stone party, but now that I've finally joined this year I'm not letting go again. I'm really enjoying my time with this detective series so far and Dead Souls is already the seventh time I've been able to meet up with new favorite detective Kim Stone and the rest of her team. And it is without doubt another winner! Dark, twisted, shocking, action-packed... Book number six is once again no picnic and this time focuses on racism and hate crimes. It's a story that will make you feel uncomfortable and that will entertain and educate at the same time; the race element is well developed and incorporated into the plot. Another change is that we have a temporary split team this time around, and while I missed them working all together, I did warm up to the new dynamics after a little while. A bonus of having Kim and the rest of the team apart is that we get to see multiple investigations evolve, and another bonus is that we have Doctor A showing up again too. The writing is once again brilliant, making it so easy to just keep turning those pages especially once things started to get really intense. I already can't wait to read the next one soon!
