Deadly Animals: Winner of the Val McDermid Crime Debut Award 2024 | Marie Tierney

so-so

Picked this up at the library because it looked different. Again it‘s one of those books which to me ,most of it was very obvious and I wasn‘t sure if it was meant to be obvious. I liked the main character 13 year old Ava. I learnt a lot about bones, forensic science and decaying bodies. Yes it was a bit gruesome in parts. Mixed feelings about it really. You might love it.
