With such an explosive start, the reader is launched straight into the action in Unforgivable, the second book in the DC Will MacReady series. I do usually like to read books in order; sometimes you can get away with not reading the previous books and other times it really is a necessity. For me, Unforgivable just scrapes through into the former; I would have liked to have read the first book but I didn't need to have read it in order to enjoy this one.
Unforgivable is perhaps not quite as fast paced as I expected, but it certainly kept me engrossed and eager to turn the pages. I loved how the book was sectioned into days as it brought added realism to the story. It is a highly detailed police procedural thriller and I loved the banter between the police officers; I sometimes felt like I was a fly on the wall inside a police station. Some chapters are told from the point of view of the bombers and these chapters really are quite chilling as they go about their lives with their true feelings hidden from friends and family.
I'm sure Mike Thomas has a lot more up his sleeve for DC Will MacReady so I definitely want to pick up the first book in the series before book 3 comes out. I have a feeling that this series is going to be a firm favourite among crime fiction fans, so keep your eye on this one!
