A Confusion of Crows

My review -
Cat
McKenzie is a recently appointed detective. Her boss is her late brother’s best
friend. Cat feels she has his memory to live up to. They begin to investigate
the murder, by garrotte, of a young woman. They think they have the killer,
only to find another woman murdered by the same method, while their suspect is
in custody. Then a third body turns up. Are they connected?
This
is an excellent debut novel and augurs very well for a potential series. Cat is
sometimes hesitant, sometimes reckless, as a new detective would be when
feeling her feet in the job. She has to contend with a chauvinist boyfriend and
a sergeant who is a bit of a dinosaur. I found it all very realistic and
exciting. It was great to see the way Cat grew both in her personal and
professional life throughout the book. A highly recommended read.
