Characters that you grow to love and writing with respect and compassion
Having just read another police procedural novel that involved people trafficking, I was interested to see how they would compare. This is such a great book and definitely did not disappoint me. I had read book 3 in the series, The Night Watch, prior to its release last year and so I was delighted to get the opportunity to read this, the fourth book in the series. There is even a great little short story added to the end of the book.
The author creates wonderful characters that he introduces you too and you really get to know them throughout the book, and his knowledge of police procedurals shines through in the writing, but it never gets too heavy and there is always lots of action. For me, in the book, I really loved the character of Barney, as the story progresses you get to find out more about him and this new info really added an extra dimension to the character. I also love the character of Norma. Both Barney and Norma should be given their own series.
If you like TV programmes such as Line Of Duty then you need to read this book. Although it is book four in a series I feel that there is enough background information for readers to be able to read it as a standalone, and those that have read the series so far will not be disappointed.
People trafficking must be a very difficult subject to write about but this author does it very respectfully and with compassion you does not feel to keep the action and pace coursing throughout.
