 Great read, shame about the blurb... October 5, 2007

This was my first foray into the Bob Skinner books (thanks, Mum), and I'm now working my way through the back catalogue, so much have I enjoyed them. Great plots, sparky dialogue, plenty of character intrigue, fast pacing... But when will the people writing the blurb on the back actually read the books before they write about them? "It's not long before Deputy Chief Constable Bob Skinner gets called back to the frontline"? It was three-quarters of the way through! As my first dip into the Skinner series, I was starting to wonder if he was ever going to show up. Thankfully when he did, he was worth the wait.

This is one of the best bob skinner novels in a long time, it is truly gripping and with the loss of a major charachter the plot keeps you from putting the book down. However the reason it losses a star is the late arrival in the book of the main charachter. If your a fan of scottish crime novels then this is a must read.

Recent Skinner books have, in my opinion, neglected the policing and focussed too much on love, divorce and separation but this one is a real tour de force. Excellent plot, borrows slightly from true to life events and a real classic performance from Skinner once he makes an appearance. Well worth it
