D.I. Kim Stone is not only a dedicated and passionate police officer but her character in the book is so fantastically deep and memorable. It was easy to feel along with her, think along with her and just really, really like her. I think she is one of my favourite new crime leading ladies I have come across for a while. Some of the emotion coming off her in this book was tangible. A very well written character. I'm so glad I finally got around to reading this book. I thoroughly enjoyed every page and I'm thrilled to have discovered Angela Marsons. How exciting to think I've got all her other books still to read! Though I don't generally like these kind of books, I definitely loved this one!!
