Sixteen Horses by Greg Buchanan

1.0

No book should explain the motives and reasonings for a crime in an epilogue, especially not through a dialogue between the investigator and a therapist. That’s just so lazy!! and means that although you can guess who the killer is, you are never given any actual clues and reasons before the “big” reveal.

The beginning was rather promising, and I enjoyed the contemplations on society’s view on animal abuse and how little are these acts punished by law. However, the rest of the book reads like a prelude - and I couldn’t help thinking this will be a first book in a series about a quirky crime investigator who is not a police officer but a vet.
