The first in the Meredith and Hodge series is delightful. The characters are well-developed and mostly quite likable. The villains are VILLAINOUS. The narrator is wonderful with voices and dialects; you get to know which character is speaking simply because the narration is so perfectly done. A few chapters in, I was checking to see how many in …

Love British mysteries. Great characters, addresses issues of life/death in an informative way. Kept me reading far into the night for sure.
Did not want to put the book down when time to sleep. Great reading.
I really enjoyed this book. The only negative was the author’s use of the word “whilst” was way overused and distracted me
Another crotchety guy and feisty woman in this series opener. Quick, entertaining procedural.
I really liked this book and getting to know Meredith and Hosge. Can’t wait to see what comes next for them.
I couldn’t get going with this book so did not finish it.
too long with too many different stories and characters.
could not get into this book moved too slow developing characters and story line.
This book had a good plot but just went on and on with needless information. Could have been shorter and less rambling.
