Thrilling

Reading this book has made me realise why reading a book series out of order is a bad idea. I've already read the direct follow on sequel to this, the 10th book Police, plus the 11th book The Thirst. So reading this afterwards may have spoilt it a little, which is a shame as it's a very good read.

I like the Harry who's no longer a policeman, as he's allowed to breach the rules he's stepped over many times and it makes for a thrilling and entertaining story. The plot itself isn't as convoluted and farfetched as some of the other books in this series, yet it's full of twists and turns and it's very well written. The ending, had I not read the following books, would be a huge surprise and the twist about the murder I definitely didn't see this coming.

Whilst it's not quite as good as The Snowman, this is definitely one of the best books in the series. I just need to go and re-read the sequel now.
