Even though I have read both the Trial and the Castle, I found this book to be very esoteric. It is very much a book for the scholar deeply immersed in Literary theory.
Boring snd slow moving. Wasn’t engaging at all. Won’t comment continue with series. Unfortunately not my cup of tea.
I gave up. The characters were, as others have commented, very stereotyped. The story was slow and didn’t grip me. I didn’t warm to any of the characters either. And the narration was boring with very poor accents. One character who was supposed to be Glaswegian, (my daughter lives in Glasgow so I do know..
I’ve listened to all of the previous DI Sallow series. I enjoyed the first few…but the quality has diminished over time and hit bottom with this one. Too many over used descriptions, a weak storyline…and a new morbidity that doesn’t woo the reader. Disappointing!
Rather much ado about nothing really. Cast of hundreds and quite confusing at times. Narration the best thing
There is too much repetitive filler about previous cases and the missing sister. I also found the characters in this episode poorly drawn and rather unbelievable.
