I will start by admitting I am a real life soco so that always facts my view of crime books.

The first two chapters almost had me putting it down. Clearly very little research carried out. The part where he just wandered into a crime scene without regard for anything or anyone almost made me arghhh out loud ;) But I persevered to the end and have even continued onto the second one.

The DI is a likeable character. As is usual with crime fiction there's always a past that haunts them and this DI is no different.

The book for me just felt rushed. I also figured out the ending pretty quickly. It had potential, but didn't quite make it for me. I'm hoping book 2, addresses the issues I felt existed.

Thank goodness Edinburgh really isn't like that everyday, I'd never leave work ;)
