This book actually gets 3.5 stars. In this second book of the series, Logan MacRae has been transferred to the "undesirables" team at his Aberdeen, Scotland police station working under a hard-nosed detective who is as eager to claw her way of the team as MacRae is. There is a lot going on in this book and nothing really progresses in a straight line so it can be a bit frustrating to work through but I think it is worth the trouble to persevere. MacRae is a good cop, he just lacks experience and leadership. There is a LOT of violence in this book and this can be hard to take so beware. This one is not for the faint of heart.
