The Field of Blood by Denise Mina

3.0

Not sure about this one. It starts off grim but that's necessary because it sets the crime around which the story develops but then the story wanders around a bit. A young woman wanting to be a journalist working as a copy boy does a bit of detective work, agonises about her career, argues with her family, her fiancé and solves the crime but it doesn't hang together quite right. It might be because its the first in the series so I'll reserve judgment until I've read another in the series.
