Past Lying by Val McDermid

dark mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

i did really enjoy this, my first val mcdermid and i wasn’t disappointed :) i wish id realised it was set in the pandemic though, after 400 odd pages it does get really quite annoying to read about - i don’t want to keep thinking about it?? the mystery itself was really intriguing, although it was a bit of a slow burner with a rather random side plot i’d recommend reading:)
