This is a tough one for me. There were elements of this book I loved and then some that moved this down to a three-star rating rather than four. I loved the main character, DCI Daley and the fact that it was based in Scotland and set in a small community. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it was a very predictable outcome which led to me feeling slightly dissatisfied at the end.

Would that stop me from reading this author again? No, it wouldn't. I'd like to see more of this character and I enjoyed the writing and the setting. I'd like to see if next time, the journey and ending are a little less predictable.
