Lockdown by Peter May had me totally immersed. I loved the murder mystery, the characters were interesting even though flawed and the flu/lockdown story brings an extra touch to my experience seeing the situation we’re in.
Also I loved the writing, it was like I was expecting something bad to happen any minute.
The only thing I’m having my doubts about is the translation (I’m reading in Dutch). A couple of times I frowned, not sure if the author was being hazy (if that’s the right word) or the translation was off, probably both. Pinkie’s actions at the end were too far fetched, so yeah, had to roll my eyes, but on the whole I really liked this read!
