Bog-standard feel-good stuff featuring clicheed, over-the-top characters, a rather boring story, conflicts that are resolved by "a good, strong talking-to" by one senior or another.
Readable but not worth my reading time.

Not so hot anymore but I'm too tired to write proper reviews right now.
While not quite as good as some of the earlier instalments, "Little Children" is most certainly a good read. Kim and her team are called out to help another team in Blackpool - while at the same time checking on said team.
The team dynamics are a bit different due to the different location and the strained collaboration with the Blackpool team but it's still an easily recognisable and devourable Kim Stone.
A good read, indeed, but I'm certainly looking forward to seeing Kim and her team in her usually haunts next time!

So, this one? A complete, utter turd. A highly questionable detective who physically forces his "love" interest into submission. Said love interest, in turn, gets understandably angry, but not-so-secretly swoons at his manliness. (Yes, both.)
A troupe of pagans and satanists, pedophiles, drugs, corruption, the catholic church; all of these (often combined!) get thrown in. For good measure a bit of prostitution, homophobia, and incest complete this unholy mess.
