The Comforts of Home by Susan Hill
3.0
This Serrailler novel opens with Simon in the hospital after being gravely injured in a police operation. He needs time to recover and rehabilitate and goes off the a Scottish island (with a fictitious name), a place he has known for much of his life. While there, he gets caught up in a local murder. In the meantime, there are problems with his estranged father, and his nephew, son of his sister Cat. He also manages to reopen a cold case murder among other things, all while he is supposed to be on medical leave
I did not like this Serrailler novel as much as those I read in the past. I suspect that the format of short (sometimes very short) chapters that jumped from location to location, story to story, made it hard to follow on audiobook. I probably would have liked it better as a read rather than listened to book. I would have enjoyed more details about the Scottish island and especially more details about the murder victim, who was killed for an intriguing reason.
