I'm not usually down for mystery books. They normally sit, gathering dust at the bottom of my 'to-read' pile, until a day in the middle of the summer holidays when I'm too bored to read anything else and happen to find a copy of the book in the public library. The copy is usually worn and filled with reviews on the front and back instead of a blurb and I read a few pages every few hours, my attention being grabbed by wasps surrounding my ice cream or a zombie apocalypse which waited until I started reading to begin.

These books (so far, fingers crossed for the third) are nothing like this. I love the characters and how they have developed, I love the writing, I love how various plots and solutions are presented throughout. If a zombie apocalypse was to have started while I was reading, I would have shown the zombies my fully packed calendar and suggested the same time next year.

Summary of this strangely written review; I love these books so far, can't wait to read the third one and highly recommend them to anyone who isn't put off by my five star rating.
