Full of questions
This book was a good read, its book 2 of the dci Murrian series, dark corners contains references to kidnapping and murder, its about a boy thats found murdered and other child abductions, and a complicated police journey to solve the crime.
The characters where likeable, the story was a tough read at times, with its stoyline but it was well written, though the chapters are a bit long.
I gave 4 stars because it was two stories read side by side before they merged to the dramatic conclusion, it got a little confusing at times trying to remember who is in which story but as the book went on it did get easier.
All in all it was a good read, you just need the patience to get used to the two stories.

Great job!
Love the characters, the plot, the complexity. Appreciate the characters having real issues and insecurities without being weak or boring. Enjoy marrain's "gift" not being clear but also that "hint" of special perception. I'm happy that he shares it with others he works with. Great Job! Thank you. Diane
