I enjoyed End Of Watch but it’s definitely my least favourite of the Bill Hodges trilogy. The others were set in a very ‘real’ world and this final one added a touch of supernatural elements to it that I wouldn’t have expected from the first too books. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed it and loved learning more about Holly Gibney. Can’t wait to read Holly soon

This book was a bit of a challenge for me to get through, I found it very slow to start and it wasn’t still halfway through it that I became invested - for a 600 page book, that’s quite some time. Mostly I think I struggled with it because my idea of it was of it being a murder mystery to solve the murder of Robin and whilst that is the catalyst which kicks off the events of the story, the story takes its own path going forward to the point where the revealing of the murderer isn’t necessary anymore. I did enjoy the latter half, once I clicked with the story but it just wasn’t quite what I anticipated
