Perhaps it's because this is a book that's billed as part police procedural and part psychological thriller. There's a lot more to it than an investigation into a murdered teenager. There are entanglements, power play and corrupt officers thrown into the mix and it made for an exhilarating read.
The story opens with DI Erin Crane on the case of missing girl, Sophie Madson. It's not long before Sophie's body is found and a murder investigation is commenced, with Erin working with her usual partner, DCI Tom Radley. Things then become very complicated - Erin's personal life is intertwined with her job, her past is playing on her mind, and then when Sophie is seen getting into the car of a police officer just before she died it blows everything apart.
From a very procedural beginning this turned into a rollercoaster thriller. Unexpected punches to the gut had me exclaiming out loud more than once. I didn't know who to trust, not Erin, not Tom, not their colleagues, and Charlotte Langley threw suspense and surprise at me time and again. The Blame is a fast-paced read that I wanted to get back to whenever I was forced to stop. Think Line of Duty. It would translate so well onto the small screen. The end of The Blame made me think there might be more for Erin but either way this was an excellent debut which means I'm excited about what Langley will deliver next.… (más)
