There is definitely something about the vast expanse of the Highlands in Scotland that makes it quite possibly the perfect setting for crimes like the ones featured in this book. The fact that everything is so remote creates that eeriness that people can disappear and potentially never be found.
This book follows two lead characters: Monica Kennedy, a Detective Inspector juggling the pressures of a demanding job and raising a young daughter on her own, and Micheal Bach, a social worker struggling with his own inner demons whilst at the same time trying to help young adults work their way through life.
These are two very different characters who collide in the course of a set of gruesome murders both with a vested interest in finding out what happened. Despite them being unlikely acquaintances in their own round about way they actually seem to work really well together and it was an enjoyable read to experience the investigation from both their point of views.
There is a really good twist at the end of this book concerning an unlikely character and really created that little ‘wow I didn’t see that one coming’ moment. This is a book I would definitely recommend for anyone who likes police procedurals or who likes to read along with an investigation trying to solve the clues.
