Well now, this is tricky. I raced through most of this book, really enjoying it. I liked detective Sam, back at work after several months leave following a sexual assault at work that's been covered up. I liked the jovial 'how to' murder book, and I was intrigued by the crime and what had happened. I felt the pacing was good, and I could feel that we were building towards *something*...I did have an inkling of what that something might be, but I was hoping I was wrong.Without giving spoilers, I was not wrong.
I just really didn't like the ending, and I think that reading other reviews, I might be in the minority with this! But I was disappointed. I get why it went for the twist, but I would have preferred a slightly different denouement.
But still, for the most part, this was an excellent read so I haven't allowed the end to sway me too much!
With thanks to Net Galley and the publishers for my copy.
