Read as part of a group read where we each took a book from this series no context. Had a great time reading it as it’s not something I’d normally pick up but I don’t think there’s a single woman introduced in this book who isn’t sexualised. Maybe Kirsty, his daughter. Not Sophie though, also his daughter. Fictional police HR departments must quake in their boots the amount of ill advised sleeping around Enzo gets up to / is alluded to have happened previously. And his family tree is fascinating - but not fascinating enough that I wanted it interrupting the climax of the murder mystery. Still, I enjoyed being right about the twists!
