4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, not bad at all!!! Sep 15 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I quite enjoyed this book. It is a bit slow in the beginning but once you get into it you won't want to put it down! If this book is any indication I'd love to read more by the same author. Great book overall!

I suppose my opinion is coloured by the previous read of "The Mermaids Singing". You find yourself longing for a reuniting with its main characters, only to find them mingled in an irrealistic and a bit over-the-top plot. If you were thrilled by "The Mermaids Singing", don't expect to find the same quality here.

What is surprising about this novel, though, is that despite of the fact that the killer is known after the two very first pages (notice his ridiculous name, which irritated me throughout the whole 400 pages), the introduction of a few new characters, such as Shaz Bowman and Donna Doyle, manages to intrigue you and drag you along the storyline. Never mind that the identity of the killer is proposterous, that the sideline-plot is bound to put you to sleep and that the main characters are charicatures of themselves in the Mermaids... This alone makes this novel worth a neutral stance : ** (I wouldn't want to be too positive and give it *** !!).

If you haven't read "The Mermaids...", you might this novel remotely interesting. If you have, try not to think about it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Val's my new pal! Jan 22 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is my third book by Val McDermid. What a book! I'm surprised anyone gave this book less then a 4 star rating. This book is excellent, intelligent, interesting, etc...

The book is a bit slow at the beginning but I really got into it anyways. And (SPOILER ALERT), I love when writers can kill off a "main" character and not bring it back (Patricia Cornwell, anyone?). I admit the character that dies was just introduced in this book but still, I had grown to like her and she was well developped in the book.

I am for sure going to get the TV series based on this book and others by McDermid.
