Solid Introduction To New British Police Procedural Series. This book is exactly what I note in the title - a solid introduction to a new British police procedural series, one with a couple of interesting hooks that will be interesting to see exactly how they play out throughout the series. The first being that our lead Investigator is a triplet with a haunted past (which we learn about through this book), the other being that while she is a British national, she has spent several years prior to the events of this tale being trained by the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation and working with them. Neither are exactly typical elements of any of the fairly numerous series I've read within this exact space, and both contribute to helping this particular series stand out a bit from the pack.
The pacing is near frenetic, starting even with our opening chapter featuring a somewhat shocking and certainly atypical book opener within the police procedural space - much less the very first scene of a brand new series.
Overall, one of the better books within this genre I've encountered in quite some time, and I'm glad I already had book two on hand to also read as an Advance Reviewer Copy when I finished this one. Very much recommended.
