I have read all of Leigh Russell's books so was delighted to receive this as an advance reader's copy from NetGalley.
As always the storyline is intense and thoroughly thought out by the author. As in the previous novel, Geraldine Steele is working in York where after demotion from her job in London due to inappropriate actions to protect her sister she is working under her previous protégé sergeant, now people to DI, Ian Peterson. I find some of the actions a little unlikely in particular in relation to her recently emerged twin sister. I think future work should have less detail about this as it detracts from the main story. There is some unnecessary repetition too which might be helpful to a first time reader but it's irritating to today who have followed the series. The story is ostensibly about the murder of homeless people in York and this theme is well told.
I enjoyed the book, but it was 4 not 5 stars.
