Review of 'Mangle Street Murders' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this one. I quite like March. I deeply dislike Grice (as I'm no doubt meant to) to the point that it almost ruined the experience and the story itself felt ... odd. There were parts when i was gully caught up and intrigued and then everything would fall flat. Almost like there were narrative strings the author had set up and then abandoned. I'll probably read others in the series of they're available though if only for more about March and Harriet.
