sisterfibrosis 's review for:

Broken Ground by Val McDermid
5.0
dark mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

There is a reason McDermid is known as the Queen of Crime! This has to be one of the best crime novels that has been written, the plot is so intricately woven and thoroughly unpredictable. Somehow three investigations are finely balanced in this book, yet each gets packaged up and reaches a conclusion in its own manner. I look forward to picking up the next in the Karen Pirie series.
