Tissues! I need more tissues!
Jeez! I really need to install a box (or three) of tissues on my night stand, or maybe just a bucket for me to cry into. I was just getting over one sad bit when I'd start all over again. And it was those unpretty, snotty tears too.
Ike, George, like Charlotte I have fallen for both of you too. And now, even after finishing the story I want to sob all over again. It's so sad...sniffle
After enjoying this so much, despite all the crying, I really wouldn't mind reading more books by the author.

Rachel Unthank recommended A Love Supreme by John Coltrane in Music (curated)
This is yet another book from a list on BookLikes called "Books to Fall in Love with". Some of them I have fallen in love with, some not so much and this is one of the latter.
I think it might have been down to the simplicity of the story after the two previous very complicated books i read before it. This didn't really engage me at all. The storyline was kinda cliche and rather boring compared to the previous two and i dont think cowboys do anything for me anymore.
I won't be reading any more of this series.

Essentially just another poor man's version of 'Robocop' but without the class of something like 'Upgrade' that was still original enough to stand out. This is firmly middle of the road forgettable B movie territory that would have gone straight to video in the 90's. It has some reasonably decent action scenes but I found that I really just didn't care how it ended. You are also certainly reminded of the limitations of Vin Diesel's acting when he is away from the 'Fast and Furious' family. Guy Pearce must have really fallen on hard times to agree to appear in this.

Think this book may have fallen victim to the too much hype before I read it syndrome, I kept hearing what a great procedural this was but as solid as it was it didn't blow my socks off.
Unusually, with a police procedure, I liked the main characters but found the actual story/case somewhat lacking. With a bit too much showing behind the curtain, I didn't find the investigation into the gruesome crime all that fascinating. The interesting side case was wrapped up too early and I'm just left hoping our intrepid French/Scottish investigator will have a better outing next time.
