Having now read all three books in the DCI Robin Lyons series, I would personally recommend reading these in order, since the development of Robin’s career and the relationship with her daughter Lennie is quite paramount to the dynamics of the storyline. I really like Robin, she’s a superbly developed character and the amount of time she spends at work, realistically affects her home life which torments her for being a neglectful single parent. Her turbulent relationship with her racist and selfish brother Luke, is another ongoing storyline that benefits from continuity and a situation that arose in the previous book, comes to a conclusion here. 

 

I was utterly gripped with the plot line in “Last Witness” - for some reason I was fastidiously invested into the who and why the events happened and it was only down to old fashioned, diligent and dedicated police work that the case was solved. A very interesting case too, which broke my heart in places but with a timely #MeToo theme, showing how the younger generation are supporting victims. This felt progressive, appropriate and certainly inclusive of modern day criminal investigations. I loved this book, my favourite of the three and hope that there’ll be a fourth very soon!
