Whilst I wasn't the biggest fan of the author's first book, I picked up this title as I'd engaged with his writing style.
This book, in my opinion, is superior as the characters are more rounded, the plot more complex and of course the author keep you glued with a myriad of fast paced twists alongside darker deems coming to light as it wends its merry way.
Add to this sharp prose, gripping action alongside an author who has learned a lot since his last release and all in, this tale generates a crime story that will be a firm favourite with readers of not only police procedural but also the noir genre with the books realistic flavour. Cracking stuff.
