A review by linguisticali
The Rising Tide by Ann Cleeves

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

3.5

Another decent mystery. I listened to it in a day.

I can't believe she killed off Holly! That was a surprise this deep into the series. I hope the next book does something with that emotion rather than having character growth keep going in circles, which has generally been the case. I do think Holly deserved a more meaningful death and some character growth beforehand - it was already sad without also feeling that it didn't achieve anything.
