jlmcnair 's review for:
The Special Dead
by Lin Anderson
This is the first novel of Lin Anderson's that I've read. It came to my attention via enthusiastic reviews on Twitter from authors I follow. What I hadn't realized was that it was the 10th book in a series. Not a series in the sense of one continuous storyline (e.g. Game of Thrones) but a series based around the main character, in this case, forensics specialist Rhona MacLeod. While I guess each MacLeod novel is more or less a standalone, this one constantly referenced a past case -- probably the events of book 9 in the series? It was a bit frustrating on that front and I often wondered if I should maybe stop reading this one and read the 9th book instead. I even debated maybe starting from the very beginning with book 1, but couldn't find it as an epub from the Kobo store, so that wasn't an option.
Anyway, I did enjoy the story, and will likely read more in the series.
