The Secret Place

Quits strange this one. My rating reflects my enjoyment compared to the previous Dublin Murder Squad books. This one, unfortunately, just isn't as good as the previous four.

I think the main sticking point for me was the bits with the school girls just felt a bit odd. Think of that middle ground between Catherine Tate's Lauren and the girls from Picnic at Hanging Rock. I just found it a really strange drawn out read. Way too long for what it was. Those last 100 pages were a real battle, but I guess I won out in the end.
