I love Val McDermid and loved this first in a new series even if it's somehow less gripping than other stories by this author.
Allie is a woman working in a men's world, in an age when investigative journalism wasn't considered a work for women.
She's a clever and well rounded characters, i liked her.
The plot is flows and the author delivers a story full of twists and turns.
Good character development, a vivid historical background.
A good depiction of what it was before social media and cellphone.
Highly recommended.
