started a bit slow, but picks up steam, and the way all the story lines are connected at the end is great
This is the second book in the DI Corstophine series and having read and loved Whirligig I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy of The Devil's Cut.
The Devil's Cut starts in very much the same way as Whirligig, with a bang, which leads DI Corstophine and his police officers with an investigation to contend with. I loved that the familiar police crew are back with a host of new characters to get to know. The characters all have their faults which makes them realistic, relatable and unpredictable.
The McCoach family own the local distillery but when Jack suffers a fatal heart attack during a lonesome hill walk only his sister has cause for concern and believes that the whole family are at risk of becoming the next victim. With a host of catalytic converter thefts happening in the area, possibly relating to drug crime, a suicide, a local peeping Tom; Frankie and Corstophine have their hands full but agree to investigate Jack's death to rule out foul play. In true Greig style this leads to a twisty plot full of action, suspense and more murder.
The Devil's Cut is a twisty police procedural, it is fast-paced and such a page-turner. I was hooked. Many thanks to Andrew James Greig for another stonking read. I can't wait to see what Corstophine and Frankie encounter next.
