The Special Girls by Isabelle Grey
3.0
A solid police procedural with a topical plot and a decent cast of characters.
I hate coming into a series part way through and there was nothing on the jacket to say this was book 3. I know this isn't the authors fault but it did taint my enjoyment of the story as i was frequently reminded of history I felt i was expected to know and didn't.
For me there was nothing particularly special about this, it was a fairly linear plot and I had most of worked out in the first hundred pages. The bit that i didn't work out I still don't fully understand.
Helen and Clive Goodwin are hands down the best characters in the book, all the others feel slightly 2 dimensional next to them.
A perfect book and potentially series for lockdown - doesn't require too much attention or time to enjoy.
