For most of the book it was 2 stars, mainly due to the slow pace. Eventually the pace improved and it all fell into place. I normally read a book like this in 2 days max, this took a week. Mainly because I was not "grabbed", by the characters or story. Just wanted it to finish so I could read something else....more

Not bad, but not great either. Weird start, might have been partly me, but I was struggling to work out what was happening. Started to make sense eventually. It was mercifully short. Looks like possible sequel, not sure if I would read it or not....more

Might be me, but this story took a long time to get going. Especially when you consider it is only 150 ish pages long. First half was very slow, but then pace went from 0-60 in a few pages. I have never given Karin Slaughter books anything lower than 5 stars before and most are deserving 6 stars or more. Certainly The Good Daughter this is the prequel to, is in my opinion one of the best books ever written. But this one really more 3.5 but rounded up to 4 as feel, might have been partly me....more

Very good story well worth reading. Different ethnic characters to most detective serie. Works well . I lost track of who was who part way through, probably me rather than the way it wss written. I am looking forward to reading the first 2 books and any future episodes. I downloaded the first book this morning....more

Excellent story, good strong characters. Unusual to have a completely new team, on their first case. Interesting to read them introducing themselves. As with other books by M A Comley, every word counts, no filling sentences. This is the first Tara Lyons book I have read, it won't be the last....more

How does she do it? Yet another brilliant series and set of characters. If I had one criticism, it would be the banter between the two senior officers got a bit too much in the middle. But it eased off again later in the book. ...more

Another excellent story from this author. Completely different location and character for the Detective Inspector. Unusual to have a DI who can obviously do the job, but is not overly agressive, until needed. Fits in with the more relaxed rural setting rather than inner city policing. Will definitely read more of this series....more

Don't know how she does it. The first book was perfect, but this is somehow better! Neither book has a single word that is not needed. Such a fast paced story. Bring on the 3rd book....more

I may get shot down here, but this series gets worse with each book. The first was ok, the second even more unbelievable. I had hoped that was a blip, or me not in right frame of mind for it. But after book 3. Don't think I will bother with a 4th if there is one. Lucy is so naive it is unbelievable that she could be a reporter. The story lines are so far fetched. I will stick with the DI Steele series by the same author....more
