DCI Sandy McFarlane is the main character in this new Police Procedural from a new author who, if anyone, should know plenty about Police Procedures. It was a nice surprise to find out that Russell Wate is not only a very good detective but he also knows how to write an exciting page turner of a book! Of course the policing aspects are detailed and no doubt accurate and the plot is intricate and well structured. The characters are interesting and well developed except I did find Sandy McFarlane too much of a “ nice guy” and a bit too perfect at times. Perhaps we could see a bit more of an “edge” for him in the next book? I hope there will be another one since Russel Wate has a great talent for writing fiction that is engaging and which runs along at a good pace.
