Edinburgh Dusk by Carole Lawrence
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Detective Inspector Hamilton is back. I was very excited to have been approved to read an ARC of this and promptly decided to put my schoolwork on hold until I had finished reading it, which only took about two days. Once you start this story, you won’t stop until the last page.
DI Hamilton is just as introverted and unsociable as ever. Always quick with a cheeky remark and ready to solve another case. I was glad the story also included most of the secondary characters from the first book and also took its time to develop them a bit further.
The character of the murderer was an interesting one and contains sensitive subject matter that was well handled by the author.
The story was fast-paced and was thankfully without any unnecessary red herrings or plot twists in an attempt to create suspense.
The writing flowed nicely and wouldn’t let the reader’s attention dwindle even just for a second.
Overall, this was a great sequel to an even greater series. I felt it ended way too quickly and my fingers are itching to read the next installment. It was a perfect murder mystery in, what I hope, will be a long-standing series, always keeping the reader wanting more. I highly recommend it.
