This was a really well done mystery. It was a bit like Columbo, in that you are there when it happens, you basically know who did it, but you watch the investigation unfold. The character development is incredible, the honest and painful family dynamics, every relationship, even those at the police station, delineated in the complex way of real human relationships.In the end you find out which boy really participated and which watched and it is a bit devastating. will definitely read more in the series ( )

this is a masterful mystery set in Glasgow, with many interesting characters loaded with psychological insights, a lot of momentum to the complex unfolding story, and an illuminating thread of fine details about how class perceptions can drive decisions made in any setting, including murder investigations. also, there's an unexpected ending that stands out. this is a series i really need to follow.

I thought this was excellent. It occupied long hours spent hanging round at an airport, and I am going to get the rest of the series from the library. I liked the police detective, Alex, and her relationship with her dodgy brother is clearly going to continue into later instalments. However, the characterization of the angry Thomas was the highlight for me. The portrayal of what parental neglect and emotional abuse can do to a child was devastating, and in showing us Thomas' thoughts and motives, the author made the reader deeply sympathise with him - his concern for his sister was touching.

Highly recommended. ( )

Sarah Erroll is brutally murderd by gawky teenage boys after recognizing one of them. Her life comes under a microscope: her questionable lifestyle, and care for her deceased mother, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease. DS Alex Morrow os celed to sort things out, and there are many suspects, including a school friend of hers, who was the mother's primary caretaker. One of the boys, Thomas Anderson, is told that his father Lars has hung himself, to avoid responsibiilty for his sleazy business dealings. There are lots of politics in the police department, and Alex is also dealing with family issues and her pregnancy with twins. I did not connect with any of the characters. ( )
