I wanted to read Unforgivable because of the atrocious terror attacks that we've seen in the UK this year, as it deals with the sensitive topic of terrorism in Cardiff, particularly the response of the police force and the challenge of staying one step ahead of the perpetrators. I can happily say that I was not disappointed! Unforgivable gives a chilling fictional narrative of the mindset behind these horrific acts, delving into the reasons and justifications behind the perpetrator's decision to commit such atrocities. It's impossible to go into much more detail about the plot without giving away some of the most fascinating and shocking twists and developments in the police investigation, but if you love books centred around crime with a fast-paced plot development, then this is the book for you!
Will Macready was an incredibly likeable character, whose complicated relationship with his wife and brother provided another element to the storyline which both allowed a break from the intense central thread of terrorism, and also permitted me to get to know Will and invest in him as a person.
Overall, Unforgivable kept me guessing until the very end - I was convinced I had the right suspect throughout the whole novel, and I was very wrong!
