This book reminded me irresistably of the British TV series Scott & Bailey. Anyway - excellent British police procedural, well-plotted, good pacing, great sense of place. I spent the first third of the book wondering just what Cat had against her dad. The tension rachets up as we learn the story in small bites, and by the time it's revealed...there's something else to worry about. The end is so sad and terribly believable. I found Cat sometimes appealing and sometimes unlikable, her family dynamics were interesting, and even after this story has ended you wonder how she's going to keep her two worlds separate - there's a lot of potential storyline there. Very good.
Good thing I got this from the library and can take it back quick, after 30 pages I just couldn't stay with it, it is all over the place, for a 1/2 page you might be reading about the main storyline then Frear drifts off into just descriptions of something else and you lose your train of thought, then wham you have another 1/2 page of storyline then wham you don't know where your are as Frear has drifted off into more description of something else, so I don't have a clue exactly what this story is about and after 30 pages I didn't care
For me I think the writing style of this book is messy, confusing, draggy, can't even get the story started enough to even know what is going on and way way too many DC this and DC that--just confusing
