I received a free copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest review.

This was an alright book. It wasn't as good as previous books in the series, but characterization was good and Fiona was interesting. The case was good, and deals with suicide and abortion. It deals with it in a natural manner, making it easy to understand both sides of the argument concerning these issues.

I am binge listening to this series and this one covered suicide and abortion. It was a very good story line and made me think so this is a really good police procedural but also political. The only criticism that I have is that the crime is solved right at the end, not sure if that is a criticism or not but there aren't the usual red herrings and Fiona just solves it. This doesnt stop me enjoying the series and I am really liking how the characters are developing.

Very well-written mystery. It kept me guessing as to who, if anyone, committed murder.
