kirkw1972's review
3.0
I have mixed feelings on this one. It started out interesting but then we get lots of things I don't like - gangsters, pedophiles, sodomised priests and bull fighting. It starts as a standard murder mystery but when Inspector Velasquez girlfriend is kidnapped the murders get forgotten about for a good chunk of the book while he tries to rescue her. Luckily all the loose ends are fixed as the book ends.
I did like the speed of the book and I'm not sure I've read nay detective series set in Spain so that was a nice change of scenery for me. And the same for heroin addict cops. Usually they're alcoholics. I'm intrigued as to how that will play out in future books.
It's a fast paced thriller. If we take out the gangsters I'd have enjoyed it more but overall not a bad book
