Birgit's Reviews > Requiem

A troubled investigator with a troubled past, her younger brother knowing the young woman who was killed, and no one being what they seem - this story caught me from the first page until the last word;
the way Kate and her partner dig through all the evidence, and how this case starts to involve her family, was told brilliantly. The characters were realistic, so were their troubles and interactions through an equally good plot.
A bit sombre for my taste, and I think I personally would have gained from starting with the first book in this series, but this can definitely be read as a standalone.
If you like a good solid crime story with some unexpected twists and turns, this is the book for you.
