Okay, I literally just finished this book—it's been one of those weeks—about 30 minutes after my self-imposed “you have to start writing at this point” rule. So you're getting pipin' hot opinions here, fresh from the oven. I haven't had a chance to reflect too much on the book as a whole, but I think I can find a thing or two to say. Because of my time crunch, I'll leave the synopsis bit of this post to the Book Spotlight that I posted—it's brief, but it does the trick:

DI Frank Farrell and DS McLeod are tasked with investigating the brutal murder of a defence solicitor's wife in Dumfries.

It's been over a year since they left the town after an investigation robbed them of a dear friend. But now they're back and must find a way to move on.

When the son of another defence solicitor is murdered, a strange tattoo etched on his body, the case takes them into darker, more disturbing territory.

It leads them back into the past – to a horrific fire in a cottage that took a woman's life, to four friends harbouring dark secrets – and finally to a killer waiting patiently for revenge.
