The second book in the Harry McCoy thriller series, February's Son felt dated and near on impossible to follow. I hadn't read the first book in this series and the characters weren't introduced well enough for me to get a good idea of who they were and how they fitted into the story. The plot was uninteresting and the pace was slow going; there were a few murders that didn't really shock me, with some dull dialogue and filler content in between. The book did pick up a bit towards the middle and then again in the final 50 pages but for the most part, it was a chore to read and I had to force myself to keep turning the pages. I don't feel that this book can be read as a standalone novel, but it may be of interest to those who enjoyed the first book in the series. I usually enjoy crime fiction but I personally didn't like any aspect of this book and I won't be seeking out the first one in the series.
