My 6P review
Hanlon isn’t your average cop. She has a tendency towards violence and has been suspended from the force as a result. She takes her leave on the island of Jura in Scotland where she just can’t stay away from trouble.
I liked Hanlon. She was gritty, strong and didn’t hold back. I took an instant dislike to her but warmed to her as the story progressed. Perhaps she mellowed just a bit. She did seem to have super human strength at times which made me question her abilities even though we were told often enough that she was super fit. The other characters in the story were well fleshed out and greatly added to the story.
The setting was stunning and somewhere now on my bucket list to visit.
The plot was very interesting and the story flowed easily. It was well thought out with many plot twists throughout. I did think it was a stretch for the police to overlook a lot of the activities on the island but maybe that’s because everybody knows each other.
It was an easy read mainly from the POV of Hanlon who was a good narrator.
It’s going to be very interesting to see what Hanlon does next. I’m looking forward to reading the second in the series.
