This was my pick for bookshelf raiders February theme of a book with two words in the title and I'm so glad I picked it up! I was expecting this to be like any other regular crime thriller book that are very much my confort reads, but what I actually got was a little something more. There was an originality to the actual crime and storyline which was a breath of fresh air and threw up some unexpected twists and tutns throughout the book

Normally in a stand alone crime novel it can be hard for the characters to feel real and developed enough within the actual plot itself, as there isn't going to be a sequel for them to grow in, but this isn't a problen in Still Bleeding. Mosby managed to write the characters in a way that made me feel like I really got to know them without taking away from the actual story

There was a couple of things that I didn't quite click with. Although I love a book written with multiple points of view, it was sometimes a little difficult to distinguish which character was narrating at tje start of a chapter and the ending left a little too many loose ends that I would have liked to have seen tied up, but that's just down to my personal preference
·
That being said, the actual ending and conclusion itself was very well thought out and I certainly didn't work out what had happened. This is definitely one for fans of crime thrillers that are on the gorier side and a little bit different than normal 4⃣⭐
