I finished this book in one sitting, with only eating dinner breaking my stride. The book had it all, a decent backstory for the main characters, plenty of action, mystery and red herrings and of course, good old fashioned murder.
The book was clever in so many ways, and although I was initially worried it would become run of the mill and predictable - as sometimes books of this genre do - it surprised me, the story is not simply one of murder. The murders, suspense and intrigue, whilst not new, are executed very well and with a modern flair.
The writing style was punchy, we are given short insights into past experiences, but the full story is only revealed at the end. The storyline is also similarly fast paced, we jump from crime scene to crime scene essentially, and this is probably the reason I couldn’t wait to finish the story - afraid I’d miss something.
The book is an excellent introduction into the characters and makes me interested in reading more.
