A good detective murder story. I had moments of ‘ooooh’ followed by moments of ‘meh’ but I was committed to find out the outcome.

Detective Huxley was a hard to like character I found but that might have just been me. The main story itself was intriguing as most murder mysteries are although my interest did keep waining. The audiobook I listened to was good so I can’t fault that but sometimes as is the case with audio, it can be easier to breeze in and out.

It gets an extra star for place setting as I have a soft spot for Cardiff and it was nice to read a book based in one of my favourite places. The narrator was also welsh so I could listen to that lilting accent forever.

I’m happy to have read it and may consider the others in this series but I think I’m happy for where it was left!

Also, massive trigger warning for self harm so take that under advisement when picking this one up!
