I work in primary care in Yorkshire. I love Yorkshire and Scotland, I'm interested in herbs, folk music, creative cooking, knitting and time travel. As far as books go, I will read pretty much anything except horror

I read this for a book group. If it hadn't been for a group I might have given up partway through, because it took a long time to get going, but there were some big twists towards the end and the story and characters have been going round in my head since.
Jansambrook (she/her) reviewed The Wire in the Blood (A Dr. Tony Hill & Carol Jordan Mystery) by Val McDermid (Tony Hill & Carol Jordan (2))
gripping thriller with an ambiguous ending which means you just have to move straight on to the next one in the series

I recently read Mermaids Singing, the first in this book series. It was well written but it featured a transphobic trope which just wouldn't be acceptable these days. But I liked the main characters, so I've read the second in the series and it was not at all problematic in the same way.
