I found the story to be okay but I didn't really like most of the characters. They were just so stupid. Even when all the evidence was put forth the characters just wouldn't accept it simply because they knew the killer. Claire wouldn't accept her gf was the killer and attacked Lindsay for figuring out that her gf was the killer. AND THEN SHE BLAMES LINDSAY. And then Lindsay lets the killer get away with murder simply because she used to date her and the killer is claustrophobic and doesn't want to go to prison. I mean, the chick that got killed was a horrible person but they let the killer get away with murder. An innocent person was put in jail because of the killer. I frankly don't care whats happens to any of the characters to be honest.

Back to Back reading of Val McDermid's Lindsay Gordon-Series.
Started this one December 20th, 2012.
Wow! Best book so far in the Lindsay Gordon-Series.
Just to say that a scene late in the book started like an Agatha Christie-Scene: a who-dunnit-confontration. Could have provoked me to give 3 stars or less, except ... but no spoilers here. Read for yourself.
Highly recommended. Do you have to read the first two books before that? Yes, for context and background I think it is necessary.
Next!

This series keeps getting better. Love the look at lesbian lives in the UK in the 90s, plus pretty good murder mystery, too!

Ex-journalist Lindsay Gordon has another look at a case that saw a friend locked up in prison for murder when she gets back to Glasgow. I've missed out some of the action that happened before ut that didn't really matter when reading this book I don't think and I was still happy to see that Lindsay got a happy ending.

Lindsay Gordon has been in hiding in Italy since the end of the 2nd book in the series. She now returns to Glasgow where she is hired to prove a friend is innocent of murder, even though she has already been charged, convicted and sentenced. Lindsay has to confront her past and overcome her regrets if she is to prove her friend's innocence.
This is an enjoyable read but I didn't particularly like the ending. But still work reading.

A Glasgow journalist is convicted of the murder of the woman who ensnared her in an affair, and her former partner calls in Lindsay Gordon to try to clear her name. But the web the dead woman wove is intricate and Lindsay's employer may just be trying too hard to be helpful. Enjoyable and well-worked out; keeps you guessing until near the end.
