Deadly Code by Lin Anderson

2.0

3rd in the Rhona MacLeod series, and the weakest entry so far. The writing is up to the usual high standard, and the cast of regular characters remain strong. But the plot was too far-fetched for me, bordering on science fiction with human cloning and gene editing mixed in with racist American-Scots and drug runners on the Isle of Skye! And there were too many coincidences holding the plot together, with people conveniently interconnecting with each other and people just happening to turn up in the same places at the same time - Scotland is a small country, but it's not that small! Still, the series and characters still have enough going for them that future books will be worth reading.
