Not my usual sort of read. I enjoyed it but I did get the characters confused, not least because the writer constantly swapped between using first or second names. None of the characters were very developed, but I guess the main characters are developed across the series rather than within one book. I wouldn’t rush to read another of these books; I think I prefer the tv adaptations of crime dramas.
