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
4 stars
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.
