Follow the Dead by Lin Anderson
4.0
This was the 12th instalment of Lin Anderson's Rhona MacLeod series, which follows the titular forensic scientist, police and the rest of the usual gang.
While there has never been a rubbish one yet, this was my favourite of recent books. Normally set in and around Glasgow, though occasionally venturing to the islands, this one took me to the depths of the Cairngorm Mountains and the over the water to Norway in a story that covered drug smuggling and human trafficking.
Anderson always manages to link convoluted plots seamlessly and her short snappy chapters and multiple POVs keep the tension up and the plot zipping along nicely.
Likewise, Anderson is also good at progressing the overall story arcs of her characters in a way that feels natural. She has slowly introduced new ones as the series has gone on and I hope this isn't the only time the Norwegian police force make an appearance.
If you like gritty crime thrillers with likeable but flawed characters then it is worth giving these a go.
