Great story. Also, can I just say – I am SO that the two people on the case weren't bickering assholes to each other and actually respected one another!!
Absolutely brilliant book. Great characters, believable premise, and wonderful suspense.
Ugh this one just did not work for me at all.
I've read all of the DI Luc Callanach series and loved it, and I've also read the second book featuring Connie Woolwine and enjoyed that but I really disliked this one. The characters were unlikeable, the villain was unbelievable and I felt no compulsion to pick it back up which is a bad sign.
I'll definitely keep reading from this author as this was just an odd one out.
I initially requested this one because it was set in Edinburgh. We were supposed to spend Christmas this past year there, but COVID. So I figured a book set in the city was the next best thing. However, I just didn't love this one. I can't really put my finger exactly on why. It has everything I usually love in a “creepy killer” book. I just found it boring and hard to get through. I found myself setting it aside with no urgency to get back to it. Can't love them all, right?!
