‘Blood Runs Cold’ is yet another police procedural about Albanian mafia trafficking young girls into the UK to work in the brothels.
The book starts out with the vivid yet breathtaking fear of 12 year old Affi who is being used to transport drugs to Scotland.
There is, of course, the usual elements of police corruption with other miscreants in high places so the investigation is being handled by the 4 officers of the Policing Standards Reassurance team who are featured in Neil Lancaster’s previous books in this series.
I love characters banter between Max, Janie and Ross.
Just enhanced by tech wizard from Yorkshire, Barney in this book.
The storyline dragged a little in the middle when the never ending description of phone tech
seemed to overwhelm the narrative for me.
I am a fan of Scottish crime novels, particularly those of James Oswald, Val McDermid.
Personally I loved the characters in this addition and their interaction and I would add Neil Lancaster to my list of ‘must read’ authors.
