Flew right through another one! LOVING this series and I can't finish one fast enough to get to the next. :) One of my favorite aspects of this book is that we get to follow everyone's story... and I'm loving every one of them!? These are some tough MC's guys, yet they all have a genuine soft spot for the women in their lives and while they all struggle with their own relationship drama, you know they are genuine and you can have faith that all will work out. One day read. LOVE this series- Highly recommended!! Onto Book #3!!
  
Picked up eight of this 11 part series in a second hand bookshop in Hay for £1 each, so quite a bargain! Generally enjoyed the series overall. This is the last book and it sounds like the author died before finishing, but left plot notes. It does feel as though the ending is by someone different. On the plus side they correctly use 'kerb' for the edge of the pavement (although this isn't corrected in the early part of the book oddly) but the ending feels a bit unsatisfactory for the main plot and also a bit too soppy and sentimental.

Well, that's definitely going to stay with me for quite some time. There are definer some aspects of the ending of the Book of the Ancestors trilogy that my brain is still trying to compute, but the weird thing is, I don't see that as a negative as I might have done with another book or series. I think this is because everything in this series was so character driven I can't imagine it happening any other way. Mark Lawrence deftly skims not falling into clichés, which is so easy when it comes to ending a Saga. Absolutely brilliant! Bravo!

Some genuinely creepy moments (0 more)
Some plotlines were rather predictable (1 more)
Writing was a little lacklustre in parts
Genuinely creepy, if a little predictable
I read this book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription, and it is the first part in a six book series (although, at the time of writing this review, the sixth book does state there is a seventh to come - which has not materialised some 15 months later, despite the author being quite a prolific writer).

I enjoyed this book more than I expected to; there were some moments of real trepidation, wondering what was coming, but I did feel that the writing lacked a little urgency or ability to induce real fear.

That said, even though there were elements of the storyline that were incredibly predictable from the outset, it did grip me enough to make me continue with the series.

A successful return of this gritty Scottish police procedural.
I feel I could just copy a lot from my review of the first book in this series; Cold Granite. This was like tuning in to the second series of a program you liked and they haven’t changed much - thankfully. We still have a gloomy atmosphere but this time we are facing an arsonist and a dog killer so still horrific on the crime front. We have a police investigation, some internal politics and a bit of banter. All feels very BBC post 9pm drama and I loved listening to Steve Worsley’s narration in the audiobook version.

We do get a lot more of DI Steel in this book and this is welcome as she’s a vivid character. Can’t wait for the next season oh wait book I meant next book……….
