The Harvest Man by Alex Grecian
4.0
I quite enjoyed this recent installment of the Scotland Yard series. All of our favorite characters are back and our timeline is very near to the end of our last book. I enjoyed how all of the characters we given moments of reaction and lingering effects of the previous book. It was great to have real human emotions and actual effects of traumatic events included.
The Harvest Man was an interesting killer though I would have liked to learn more about him. he is searching for his family but so many questions are left open. Why is a child in his head? What about his ear? Why had he been in prison before? It did not need to be wrapped up in a bow but I wanted just a bit more. At times it felt a bit like filler in between the Jack story.
I was glad to see more with our women, Claire and Fiona. They are given time that is not just 'mother' or 'love sick' that still fits within the world; Claire and her rhymes and Fiona with her own detecting with Hammersmith.
And then, of course, the wonderful set up ending. Not how I expected it to go but it does leave me excited about the next installment! I love how Jack is written.
