Out of Bounds by Val McDermid

challenging dark tense fast-paced

I really enjoyed this one. I didn't like the ending of the last book in the series but it did allow for some really interesting themes to develop and I really enjoyed the development of Jason the Mint Murray and the relationship between him and Karen. 

I liked the slight unravelling of Karen with her grief which led her to make more risky and less "by the book" policing decisions. 

As always with police books, I hate how defence lawyers are portrayed in the police station. However, overall I really did enjoy this.
