review 1: Although this book showed great promise I was distracted by the number of typos and the implausibility of certain actions of some of the main characters. This book would be vastly improved by some serious editing and proof-reading. For example all the way through the book one character is a Detective Sergeant but then near the end of the book is referred to as an Inspector. Very distracting between these careless mistakes and typos.
review 2: 2d book by this author - continuing the characters of the 1st (The Surrogate). Not quite as compelling - but still enough tension and mystery to hold my interest. DI Phil Brennan begins the search for missing girls; his boss at HQ is more intrusive and less perceptive; the "profiler" the boss brings in is very suspect; a... morend Phil has the task of rebuilding his team --- and convincing his partner to come back to him and bring their baby too. So - several plot threads, and insights into Phil's growth, and comments on the old vs. the new in the city --- all in all, came together to make an enjoyable read. Think the author works hard to make the "villan" in her books somewhat tragic -- especially in the 1st book. After reading this book, this killer also has a lot of baggage -- not offered as an excuse, but an explanation - and a bit of "there but for the grace of God go I..." less
