Better than the first! I really liked Georgina and her relationship with Ffion. Kinda frustrated with Leo & Ffion. But the supporting characters were great and Macintosh does a great job making the setting come to life.

I decided to continue this series as I'm re- reading the whole thing with #InDeathLongReadathon with @StayCurious. This one is #57, which only tells you how popular they are as she keeps on writing them. This one deals with police suicide which is a big problem in the police force.

“It was that point in the evening which the poetic might call crepuscular. To the four men, unloading dogs and other equipment from two battered pickups, it was the perfect moment between dark and light. Dark enough to obscure their presence, light enough to set up the course.” Excellent opening to Heather Peck‘s latest #policeprocedural, ‘Buried in the Past‘.

Fantastic read for me!

I enjoyed it. An older woman on YT considered it one of her favorite police procedurals, so I gave it a try. This husband and wife writing team wrote a number of these types of books. #SwedishAuthors, #Budapest. I really liked the setting. This may be the first book I‘ve ever read set in Budapest (well, most of it was set there).
