This is a difficult book to review...and I struggled to get through the book....but was satisfied in the end.

When travelling in a tourist rich area, always look for the pile of dusty books on a shelf...and in Lombok, there were plenty....usually the books are in random languages (some you won't be able to identify)--- but when you find a book in English....that you would actually read? You have found the almond in the chocolate bar. I found this book at hotel in Lombok and chose to carry it around because it was a mystery...and I was desperate for some "beach lit". I didn't actually get to read it until now...it became my last paper book and I was saving it for the last month (in case I needed one)...so my almost last month in Indo...and I am dragging to read a book that I am not in love with.

This book is the second book in the series--- and the reader is obviously missing some relationship info between the two main detectives if he/she hasn't read the first book. The story is about a handful of women being attacked/murdered in a moor in England...and the detectives search to find the killer (shocking)...lots of farmers, and cows....some surly women.

My complain about the book is that it is written in "code"...maybe technical code, maybe British code...but there were many moments when I felt like I was missing something because I am not a Brit or...I am not able to follow the author's brain path. And....for a mystery there isn't any "page turning" moments...so it was a bit of a hurdle to get through some parts.

I didn't rave about this book and I wouldn't recommend it--- but I felt satisfied when it was over...and would grab the next book if it was laying around a hotel.
