The Mermaids Singing by Val McDermid

3.0

I don't tend to do trigger warnings. Mainly as I think most people can make their own decisions about what they want to read, and people's tolerance levels all differ.

But, I am not overly squeamish, and it's *very* detailed in the descriptions of the crimes committed in this book. And it's a book written at a certain time highlighting issues within the police force in the North of England, so there is a lot of homophobia in this book.

That all said, I will be following on with the series.
