Welcome to Litsy!

Another book in the series where the reader is left wincing at the graphic descriptions & these killings are particularly nasty. There's another case involving missing young boys but it's kept very much secondary & it left me feeling shortchanged - I would have liked a bit more closure. This is an issue with Carol & Tony's relationship too as it's two steps forward, three steps back. 4🌟

This is book 4 of one of my favourite series, Tony Hill / Carol Jordan. Tony always seems #fragile but Carol is especially #fragile , if not broken, in this one given what happened to her in The Last Temptation (Book 3). If you like psychological read these, The Wire in the Blood is one of my favourite all time books, and Jacko Vance one of my favourite characters. #rocktober

The re-read/re-listen continues

Returning to one of my favourite series (The Tony Hill / Carol Jordan Series by Val McDermid) for #scars. In this book Carol Jordan is carrying the scars, after a traumatic experience whilst undercover in Europe in the previous book in the series. Throughout the series Tony Hill also carries his own scars.
If you like psychological books I do recommend this series.

Love her writing. So good and so dark.

Loved the TV series and loving the books. So dark!!!

Another in the long running Tony Hill / Carol Jordan series. McDermid really is one of the best crime writers around and the complexity of the Hill/Jordan relationship adds another dimension. Highly recommended
