Picked this up with the intention of gifting to another bookcrosser, but they already had it. I suppose I might as well give it a go myself before releasing in that case.

The plot was gripping, with plenty of interesting twists. I was less keen on the characters and the constant negativity with which they portrayed their lives and professional careers, but I guess that's one of the reasons I don't read modern crime novels very often! As HR professional, the descriptions involving attempts to manage the performance of DC Chalmers made my hair stand on end. I REALLY hope that this wasn't an accurate portrayal of management styles within Police Scotland...

Reserved for earthcaroleanne at tomorrow's meetup.

Picked up at the Old Gang Meetup.

Adding to the Scottish Book Buffet at the International Bookcrossing Convention held in Falkirk in 2023.
