2.5 / 5.0
The last two series I’ve read from Scarr has always been great, exciting and heavy police procedural I thought why not try another series of hers and this fell short on the mark! Maybe it’s having two great series already (Butler& West and PC Lucy Halliday) that the energy to produce 3 high quality plots fell short. Immediately when the identical twin trope is used in book, 9/10 they always fail to deliver due to the plot tripping up on the technicalities and unfortunately this one did. I felt 2/3 of the book I was floating, constantly reminding myself of who was who, why they are in the position they are in and which name matches to which. The ending is where it clears up, I have to admit the confusion is cleared but I definitely think the identical twins took away from the quality and the full ability to understand the plot. Usually Scarr is great on depicting very real human emotions, that come off genuine and realistic - unfortunately DS Kate Munro came off very superficial, we are thrown straight into her personal turmoil and it seems to be passively spoken about at times, silent for majority then reappears again at the end.
I’m glad I’ve read another series to now know which I prefer, I will be strictly sticking to her PC Lucy Hailday series only. Its a shame this book fell short as I can see the potential but the execution was off massively in this one. The book centres around identical twins (Gabi and Thea) who were inseparable until the events in their childhood caused them to no longer speak. Gabi is viciously attacked and left in a coma where DS Kate Munro is assigned to figure out who the perpetrator is. But as she begins to interview Thea she believes that she knows more, especially after having reconnected only a week before. Strange timing huh.
It’s a miss for me on this one, but looking forward to her other series!
