I was a big fan of the now cancelled British series "Wire in the Blood", and so I decided to try the book series to get my Tony Hill fix. This novel certainly did NOT fail...I got Tony and so much more. McDermid did a thorough, excellent job with the psychological and investigative aspects of the novel. She got into a killer's head and made me squirm, which is something I normally object to but when it's this well written then I generally do not mind. If you don't enjoy gritty crime novels, which I would normally put myself in that category, then this novel isn't for you. However, since I am so enamored with character Tony Hill, I loved this novel and want to continue the series.
