A review by abercrombie1986
The Island by G.N. Smith

medium-paced

4.0

 

I think book two is even better than book one.  So much going on.  A missing child, a sinking ferry and a murderer all in the same story.  Again this is somewhat of a locked room mystery as everyone is trapped on the island due to a storm.  And again Fiona is working alone on all three of these issues.  I like that she is so determined to find justice and do it all.  Just like in the first book, there is so much tension and this one is at a continued fast pace.

Part of what makes Fiona so likable is that her parents were killed and that sets her drive to be the best police officer she can be so she can use those skills to eventually solve her parents murder.  You just want to root for her to succeed.  Not something I have really thought much about in my crime procedural previous reads.

With book two even stronger than book one, this is a great series to start.
