A review by ingo_lembcke
The Retribution by Val McDermid
5.0
Not needing to get up I read till 6:55 h am this morning, when I had the book finished.
A read a few reviews here that did not like the turn the Carol & Tony relationship was taking. While the end can be also the end of the series, it was perfect for me. And the other of the story lines are as gritty as ever. Definitive one of the best books I read so far this year. And this is why I count Val McDermid with her Tony Hill & Carol Jordan - series among my favorite authors. I read some of her other books, and some are as good, while others, like the Kate Brannigan - series are lighter reading, but I enjoyed these nonetheless.
And for those who have not seen it, I strongly suggest to check out the TV-DVD-Box of Wire in the blood, the too short UK-TV-Show, it's as of now also on Netflix.
