This is the sixth book in McDermid's Karen Pirie series set in Scotland, and I love it. Karen runs Police Scotland's cold case squad, and she simply will not give up until she finds the truth-- even if it costs her her job.

McDermid had me worried about one of the main characters-- and when you're worrying about a fictional character while you're taking out the trash, you know that's a good thing. There's also a new face in the group, and I'm looking forward to learning more about Daisy Mortimer. Karen's even got some thinking to do about her relationship with the handsome Hamish.

There's a nice twisty mystery in this one that ends with the country going into lockdown due to the pandemic... and this really puts Karen's future in doubt.
