Picture Her Dead By Lin Anderson

  

This is the latest book in the series about Dr Rhona MacLeod, forensic scientist in Glasgow.

The book begins with the disappearance of a film student, Jude, while looking at old cinemas in the city. She is a friend of Rhona’s newly discovered son, who contacts her for help.  While looking into this case, she discovers more than any of them had anticipated, and the case takes on a new twist. Then she hears from an old colleague, and an old case resurrects its self.  The result is fast packed action with both cases, a race against time, dealing with unpleasant colleagues, and dealing with her past. We have the professional Doctor and the vulnerable woman, can you be too close to a case to see properly what is happening?

As usual I found the novel extremely irritating. Irritating because I was unable to simply sit down and read it all in the one go, I had to put it down from time to time to do other things, and would then be impatient to get back to it. You want to know how it all ends up, but don’t want the book to finish.

I so love when following a really good series of books, you get the latest one,  always with a little trepidation in case you are let down. But you start reading this book and remember the people and what has happened in previous books so clearly, and you realise that it has kept up the same high standards, it hasn’t slowed down or lost its edge at all, it’s is just fantastic!

If you haven’t yet discovered Lin Anderson and her creation Dr Rhona MacLeod………..Why not!!!!!!!!
