After the first DS Lucy Black, I found this one disappointing.
There were so many possible killers introduced, it became nearly impossible for me to try to keep them all straight. By the end, I just wanted it to be over.
Lucy's strange dynamic with her mother, the ACC, played out in almost exactly the same way as it did in the first book. Something new needs to happen between them. Lucy herself seems emotionally flat, and maybe that's intentional. She did have a rather unusual childhood. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that down the road, Lucy will find out something to change her opinion of her father.

I had a really hard time getting into this book and plot. I didn’t end of finishing it which is rare for me.

This was a fair book; I liked the main character, Lucy Black, and there was plenty of action and tension as she unravels the mystery. I'd read more by this author, even though he didn't wow me. There really wasn't taht much outstanding about the writing, characters or plot to make me want to grab the next one.

This kind of drug on and It seemed to go nowhere. I didn't especially like this book. All books are not necessarily for everyone so for me I didn't like it but you should see for yourself.

Just as enjoyable reading as listening. Looking forward to the next one. Lucy sure knows how to get into trouble. Kinda fun recognizing some places having been in Derry on our Ireland trip.

It was a great story but the slang was hard to follow.
