Dark Is The Grave by TG Reid
This is a Scottish crime thriller set in Central Scotland.
DCI Bone has been off work after a horrible encounter with a serial killer. He
is brought back to work when a copycat killer strikes, and he has to face what
happened to him.
I enjoyed this book, it was an interesting read and the
mystery was built up very well. The twist was good, although I managed to
figure it out before it happened. DCI Bone is very much what I’d expect a
grizzled Scottish detective to be like.
It has a lot of the tropes you’d expect, but I like the main
character a lot. I was absolutely compelled to keep reading to find out the
truth alongside him. There was a bit of vernacular but it wasn’t excessive to
me, making it still quite accessible for those who aren’t from Scotland.
All around a good read and an interesting story, exploring
the effect of PTSD on people like the police with all the awful things they
witness and get involved with. As well as how it can impact the people we love,
and take its toll on relationships. Four stars from me.
