THE MERMAIDS SINGING - Val McDermid


HUMDINGER! That's the first descriptive word! This is a new to me author and I am definitely looking for more of her, especially of this series. The characters are well drawn and I had no idea who the bad guy was til the end.
It gets a little heavy on the Brit slang, but I could follow along. Amazing if it's true how long it's taken for the cops over there to cotton onto profiling. It made a very good part of the story. There is teamwork and discomfort, an interesting mix.
I will claim ignorance as I don't have any idea what the title of the book has to do with the storyline, but I don't care. It's a good one! Go get it!!
