Negative Positive
Title: Bit nasty but well written
Review: Plot has many similarities to the first in series with Jack still searching for answers in his brothers abduction as well as working on a challenging case and dealing with his girlfriend's problems. Tension runs throughout as the police investigation snakes along while the perpetrator repeats his crime. While this is an excellent police procedural I gave it only 4 stars as it is not quite up there with the best of class. The repitition in this and the first book in the series is a little annoying. While they are totally different crimes we have similar devices for spinning out the investigation. Shoddy police work and faked reports on grunt work, Jack taking the law in his own hands, failure to follow up critical witness reports and delays in getting crucial evidence. Strangely we have a new boss in the unit, now a straight talking, drinking large lesbian scotswoman - anyone read Stuart McBride? For all its faults this is a good read and worth a whirl.
