Denise Mina is a favorite and this one was good but I‘ve liked others she has written more. She tackled grief, sex workers, adoptive vs. birth parents and Glasgow comes through as a character again. The book ended abruptly like there was a deadline or the laptop battery ran out so the plotting was not as good as others. Still worth the read.

I liked this but not as much as I liked Conviction. The premise had a lot of promise and the opening chapter really grabbed me, but then the end let me down a bit. I would still read more of this author, especially bc I like the setting in Glasgow.

#CurrentlyReading and feeling thankful to have summer break #TeachersofLitsy

UPDATE: I quite liked this mystery, but it felt as if there‘s a chapter missing from the end. What happened after the last chapter?!? The audiobook narrator is terrific, though! 👍🏼

So I went overboard at the library recently but am halfway through my stack! Started this one today and finding it surprisingly tough to put down!

In other news, there is road work everywhere around me, it's so ridiculous I have to chart a course before leaving the house these days 🤦‍♀️
But then again, the less inclined I am to leave the house, the more books that get read 😉

A low Pick in relation to Mina‘s series (particularly Paddy Meehan). The standalones are well put together but tend to have only one storyline, making them feel less complex.

This was an interesting story and almost has a Jack The Ripper feel to it with the murders of prostitutes. The story was good but i must admit the ending was a bit of a let down. I wanted more of a showdown and a little more reasoning from the killer. The plot was steady with a couple of dramatic bits thrown in. I found myself quite invested in the Lilah, Richard side story. #Netgalley 3*
