Welcome to Litsy!

On balance this was a very good introduction to a new series and a new character, a person who is going through a crisis and thinks a body found could be the son she gave up for adoption at birth. This leads us to find out a lot more about Rhône‘s character and as a result you quickly become attached to her. Quite a dark seedy side of Scotland and the odd sexualised bits (could do without those). I look forward to continuing this series.

A teenage boy is found mutilated and murdered in an apartment building in Glasgow. Forensic scientist Rhona Macleod is called to the scene where she discovers that the boy resembles her. She gave up a baby boy for adoption 17 years before. She sets out to find the boy's killer and determine whether he is her long-lost son. She immerses herself in the sinister world of an internet pedophile ring.

Started the first book in the #RhonaMacLeod series, set in Glasgow.

First book in a series of many, many books. Set in grey, rainy Glasgow, but has the vibe of a bigger, international, more cosmopolitan city. It‘s a good start to a series, not great, 3,5 stars. I like Rhonda, the main character, who is a forensic scientist. I think she has a lot to give. This felt more like a character than story-driven book. I hope the writing will grow with the book and its characters.

Here‘s a picture of some of the books I got in the mail. It‘s a series that @Tove_Reads posted and my library didn‘t have it and it looks good!

Why have I not heard of these series before? Both sound really good.

Dealing with the abuse and murder of a teenager who was caught up in a Paedophile ring plus some abductions this book was quite graphic in places but not overly so. The detectives and associates chanced upon clues rather than pure police work and there were so many characters I did start to get a little confused. With other sexual references, nothing to bad though this was an interesting rather exciting story and was a worthwhile read.

Purchasing an apartment in Fuerteventura all the contents were left by the previous owners, a Catholic couple from Dublin. When viewing we noticed two shelves of books which we asked if they could leave for us rather than disposing of them. Only having Spanish TV, which I can't understand I turned to the books, none of which I liked the look of. Out of desperation I started to read them. It turned into a delight discovering different authors.
