If you have a thing for getting inside the mind of a serial murderer, you'll love this one. Unfortunately for me, I find that trope unpleasant rather than enjoyable. However, DS Carter is a riveting character who really salvages my disinterest in the murderer. She has to deal with the inherent misogyny of the men in her department as well as bad memories of this particular scumbag. A good read for someone else.

My thanks to the Author publisher's and NetGalley for providing me with a Kindle version of this book to read and honestly review.
A Police procedural set in seventies Edinburgh with a brave clever feisty heroine newly promoted Detective Sergeant in a male dominated world. Authentic atmospheric descriptive intelligent, an attention grabbing addictive story from first to last page, with several plot twists and some quite gruesome violence. As a sixty three year old, I also enjoyed the seventies nostalgia which some reviewers complained about.
Completely totally recommended.… (más)
