Amazing & Heartbreaking
I loved this 3 part drama on BBC. It really showed how black people where treated as slaves in the 19th century Jamaica. This programme need to be shared and show to us all. It was so heartbreaking to see that July have to give up her first child as she didn't want him to go into slavery. Also I loved the guy who she had her second child with but I was shocked how he turned on her and took her child with her owner. I am so happy to see that she met up with her first born and to see he lived a happy and free life with he's wife and 2 children. If you can find a way to watch please watch it! I recommend it!

Smart, funny, stylish & just a little bit bonkers
I’m beyond surprised that a show like this has come out of the BBC. It’s darkly and laugh out loud funny, and so ridiculously smart and stylish. Jodie Comer is absolutely phenomenal as Villanelle, she’s wondrously funny and plays a psychopath worryingly well. Her accents are brilliant, and I was shocked to see of all places that she’s from Liverpool. And Sandra Oh is surprisingly charismatic too.

The series starts off very strongly and the first few episodes are fantastic, however I did think it got a little bit strange and maybe a little too serious as the episodes moved along. Whilst this isn’t a huge problem, I did think it lost some of the magic from earlier in the series. I’d be intrigued to see how the second series pans out.

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……….
