First of all your eye is drawn to the La Plante name in big, bold lettering and you know that you're in for a hell of a read! Put that confidence in the storyteller with one of her most memorable characters, add in a pinch of nostalgia by going back to the 70s to the days before police work was solved by DNA and forensics, the horrors that were the IRA attacks and a sleek, sophisticated book cover and you have the potential for an enthralling tale. A good read for a good any day of the week in fact!
