Wire in the Blood | 
#BookMoods #SecondInASeries
Has to be Wire in the Blood, one of my all-time favourite books and second in the excellent Tony Hill / Carol Jordan series. This was also the title of the tv series they made from the books.

so-soYeah, I finished this book today! It is only a so-so because it isn't very exciting. But I like the protagonists and the antagonists. Next book with Tony Hill and Carol Jordan will be an audiobook.
The book counts for my #Scarathlon2021 #teamslaughter #thriller #crime
Next one: Second book woth Tony Hill and Carol Jordan #TonyHill #CarolJordan #McDermid #thriller #librarybook
pickI can't help but compare the characters in the books to the ones in the TV series, and it's becoming more and more clear that Robson Greene delivered an absolute masterclass in acting as Dr Tony Hill. I remember this episode on TV and it differed from the book quite significantly. Whilst not quite as brutally graphic as the first book, there are certain scenes which are difficult to read so be warned. A gripping thriller. 4🌟

Not ranking them but if I was this would be right towards the top, I love the Tony Hill / Carol Jordan Series. Have read them all and hope Val writes more! Some real twists and turns of fate for the two main characters in this series. The Wire in the Blood is one of my favourite all-time books, what a great character Jacko Vance was. 100% recommend this. Would happily read then all again,
pickSolid police procedural, a little grisly but it was interesting to peek into their process and the complicated officer relationships. Always good to catch the bad guy but the ending was a little more open-ended than I generally like. I waffled between a pick and a so-so for this one but the strong characters win out for me in the end. #Booked2020 #tartannoir
pickMy first Val Mcdermid book, and realized halfway through it's the second in series. This is a well written murder mystery. Psychological profiling used to hunt for the killer. I wont spoil the end but it is different!
So many great choices for #PsychoKilker but gone for one of my favourite psychological suspense series, The Tony Hill / Carol Jordan Series. A great combination, and some great interplay between these two. Gone for Book 2, Wire In The Blood, which has one of the great characters out there - Jacko Vance. This would make my top ten books!

So not up to date in this series!!
I love the Dr Tony Hill / Carol Jordan Series, which would make my top ten list of series. However Wire in the Blood, Book 2, has to be my favourite one. It is a special book and a wonderful character in there called Jacko Vance.
Strongly strongly recommend.

#Novemberbythenumbers #two This has to be one of my favourite books, and certainly one of the best second books in a series I know. I love the Carol Jordan / Tony Hill Series but this is the best of them, and Jacko Vance was such a great character. If you haven't read it and you like Detective/Thriller/Psychological books I thoroughly recommend it.
My marathoning nature continues re reading book 2 on audio loving it

My favourite duo is DCI Carol Jordan and Dr Tony Hill from this series.
#JuneBookBugs #day2 #LGBTQauthors This is a small stack of authors from my shelves that I had no idea were in this category. Maurice Sendak & Thomas Disch were a surprise, Val McDermid is married to her partner, which is brilliant, & Poppy.Z.Brite is in reality a trans man. So many creative people are LGBTQ along with the gene for their sexuality, there must be a FABULOUS! gene hitching a ride as well.🏳️🌈✨
Can't beat Jacko Vance for a #dangeroustype. One of my favourite love to hate characters in one of my favourite books, love the Tony Hill / Carol Jordan Series (would make my top ten list) and this is the best one by far. If you haven't read it or the series give it a try, very psychological.

#unlikeablecharacters For me one of the most unlikeable characters would have to come from one of my top ten books, Wire in the Blood. In this book we meet Jacko Vance, and he does reappear in The Retribution, a later book in the series.
If anyone doesn't know the Tony Hill / Carol Jordan series I thoroughly recommend them, one of my favourite series of all time. The books are very psychological and involve a profiler as well. Great characters.
