Small, but pretty well formed. I liked the look of a couple of the later books in the Lloyd & Hill series but received advice that the character development was such that it was a series worth making the effort to read in order so I’ve started at the first book.

There’s a good plot, nothing too deep or complicated, just enough complexity for a two hundred page book in fact. You don’t feel like things are being dragged out or too much is being squeezed into the last few pages. I like both the main police characters and am looking forward to seeing where McGown takes then. All in all a good start to a series.
