From the Shadows is the first book in the Detective Inspector Monica Kennedy series by G R Halliday and it is a promising start to what will hopefully be one a successful and long running police procedural series.
The story is set in the Scottish Highlands and uses its' setting well to add atmosphere to the book.
Kennedy is a single mother of a young daughter and whilst some of her backstory is not revealed, presumably for future stories, she is still clearly described as are the major supporting charterers
The book initially centres on the search for a missing teenager but via a series of twists and turns this soon expands into missing teenagers.
The book is reasonably well paced and although the writing style is slightly quirky this is a series that I look forward to reading more of.
