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.
