A bit hard to follow the time line in book, but good and twisted plot!

Val McDermid er alltid fantastisk, Hill & Jordan er glimrende. Oppleseren har jeg derimot et par høner å plukke med... Som; hvorfor får han sin geordie-politimann, Merrick, til å høres ut som en waliser? Og hvorfor høres alle kvinnelige stemmer ut som mr. Burns fra the Simpsons?

Helt grei hverdagskrim med grufulle forbrytelser.
