The relationship between Grace and Cleo is starting to get on my nerves for some reason. Quite obvious from the start what this one's going to be about but overall I enjoyed it.

I will not be posting my review for this book until SMP addresses their employee’s Islamophobic, racist and queerphobic statements. For more information, check out @readersforaccountability on TikTok and Instagram for information about the SMP boycott.

It was long for the story line, unfortunately predictable, but still kept me wanting to see how he wrapped it up at the end. I also really wish the graphic sexual assault scene had more relevance...since it was a little much, even for someone who reads crime novels all the time.

Goed boek dat best wel spannend is. Beschrijft goed hoe een moeder zich voelt als haar kind ziek wordt en de lijdensweg die ze moeten afleggen om een orgaandonor te vinden.

There were aspects of this book I enjoyed and there were others that I didn't (mainly some of the characters). The main plot of three teenagers being pulled out of the channel missing their vital organs intrigued me and I wanted the police to catch the people who were doing it, which was the only thing that stopped me from DNFing this book.
But I felt that this book went in for far too long and when I was reading the last 200 pages, I just really wanted it to finish. Also the author introduced too many characters and I hated most of them except for Roy Grace, Branson and Caitlin.
At times this was a fairly enjoyable read but other times it wasn't and I skim read around 100 pages because it just wasn't getting to the bits I needed to know quick enough: during one bit at the beginning of a Roy Grace chapter, it detailed what he did on a morning.

Ik kon er simpelweg niet in komen... teveel verhalen door elkaar waardoor ik de draad kwijtraakte
