For Our Sins

I was lucky enough to win a copy of For Our Sins in a competition back in February, but I couldn't read it straight away, as I was a few books behind. I was champing at the bit, but these things can't be rushed. My patience was finally rewarded peeps, and I am now fully caught up. So, without further ado, here are my thoughts on For Our Sins.

I think those five stars at the top speak for themselves, don't you? I would give more if possible, because I loved it so much. Although it's marked up as Tony McLean #13, make no mistake, For Our Sins is very much a Janie Harrison vehicle, and boy does she deliver.

Don't worry, Tony is there, just not centre stage. There's also a new Detective Superintendent, who makes Dagwood look positively saintly.

Organised Crime, clerical abuse and misogyny are the central themes, and of course there are murders too.

Well paced and deftly plotted, For Our Sins is an engaging, gritty read.
