Yes, I laughed in parts - the beer labels :-) . I didn't cry but I was shocked in parts and constantly interested to find out the next twist and turn.

Any additional comments?

Give the book a chance. You'll love the narrator and how he brings the story to you. Fantastic value for money!!

I wasn’t sure if this was going to be for me, especially as it was free. But the understated drama was addictive and I binged it in a couple of days. I thought the flawed cop idea was going to be a cliche, but Vos is quiet and suffering in silence, not an annoying or unlikeable character at all, just a little detached. I’m going to download the next in the series.

Hugely enjoyable
