The underlying mystery in this story is so convoluted that it is hard to follow. I am still not sure who ultimately committed the murder. A the same time I find the main character Alex Morrow to be so fascinating that I will probably buy the next book in the series in order to follow her story.

Readers who like a real challenging mystery that requires paying attention to every detail will probably find this book satisfying.

I listen to a lot of books, helps while I work. This was the first book from Mina I’ve listened to. I wanted to keep listening - not always the case. Love the straight forward style and well rounded characters.
Will look for more of her titles.

Detailed and rich writing.

Denise Mina has created a great character in Alex Morrow. Never sentimental, but always smart and on point. I hadn’t read a Denise Mina novel in awhile, this new series has reviewed my interest, and I didn’t see the ending coming. I’ll check out the first in the series.

Love Alex Morrow

So I was confused by how many characters were in this book. They were really hard to keep track of. The other thing that annoyed me was the lead detectives name was so close to Thomas‘s mom‘s name that every time they were talk about one I think they were talking about the same person. So it took me about halfway through the book to get their names were that close together. The other thing that drove me crazy is the beginning of the book talks about her father dying and how much she hated him but yet they never came full circle as to why or how the detective was supposed to help her brothers son. It was very confusing and the storylines when good when I wasn’t confused

I loved this book! It kept me interested throughout. The narrator is magnificent. I was never disappointed. The story is fresh, the plot moves along at a good pace, the characters are well defined and realistic, and the ending is adeptly written. Suspenseful until the very last page!
