My Review

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. Full of action and movement, loved the relationship shown between cops, made them look human with faults and weakness. Although the subject of the novel is gloomy and tensed but still the ability of the author to infuse fun dialogue and a sense of comedy appealed alot to me. The only (SPOILER ALERT!) point which I found a bit hard to comprehend was when DCI Foster encounters stuff misplaced in her apartment, she does not give it much thought, although it should have been a bit of a warning sign but then again, this slight misstep or overlooked detail does not make the book any less thrilling, really enjoyed it and am now on the hunt to get the entire ERIKA FOSTER series.
