A review by schopflin
The Benefit of Hindsight by Susan Hill

dark fast-paced

3.5

A good quality read, dark and disturbing. Good to have such a flawed character as the central detective.

I am very uncomfortable with the character of Colin Pegwell, as I think he is being coded as neuro-diverse but in a deeply negative way. It could be argued that he simply has a personality disorder but Hill risks perpetuating the myth that neuro-diverse people lack empathy and are cruel and unfeeling. I would expect better from an author of her calibre
