The Bonnie Dead: A Scottish Detective Mystery (DCI Lomond Crime Thrillers)

Product Information

Author decided it was a dirty ex cop: they find liters of blood, omg it is all so bad never seen before crime scene, with the blood and dna of all the kids in that residence. Though this was all cleaned up, yet they find samples ( that should very much be compromised) that they can analyze in a day . Also who writes bloody messages on a carpet (to start with in a darn carpet??) only to clean it up again? That makes no sense at all. Then, before they had time to get out of the car, the police officers opened fire. Clyde was killed instantly by a shot to the head. One of the officers recounted hearing Bonnie scream as she realized he’d been hit. they discover that the occupant of that residence was murdered, by a female no less ( nothing against women but considering she was all alone dragging a male corpse around) and afterwards dumped in its entirety in a tunnel that is as inaccessible as they come (author described it as such, not me) the kill was violent, loads of blood, but no cause of death given, no details on the how and when, just a guesstimate)

What I liked best was the complexity of the story. There were five members of the team, a half dozen or so other officers playing major roles, three separate crimes over a twenty year period, and more suspects than I could count. And yet it all worked. Granted, I've never heard of anything remotely similar happening in real life. But somehow Mr. Raymond makes it work. The story bowls along at a fast pace with loads of twists and turns that had me guessing until the finale. And what a finale!The story takes place at the end of the Kim Jun-Il era, and Han finds himself guiding two western tourists through the Korean Capital. What he doesn’t know is that the two tourists have a secret of their own. They are a successful journalist looking to take their career to the next level by exposing North Korea’s totalitarian regime to its people. A stolen child. A killer stalking the streets of Glasgow. A troubled detective running out of time. From the bestselling author of Official Secrets. Despite emphasizing of the North Korean regime, The Limits of the World can also be considered a Cold War spy novel. Andrew Raymond does a fantastic job of detailing the North Korean realm where the main character lives. It is obvious that the author did extensive research into the country and the secrets, and most about this secretive government. The author also does a fantastic job in creating two believable western journalists trying to infiltrate and expose the dark side of DPRK.

So, loved reading this. Good story from the start. A few cliches but they are forgiven. (brooding detective, mean colleague, typical journalist a hole…blablablabla) the hero worship is a bit stupid too btw… never had that feeling toward any of my colleagues, no matter the size of the case they handled. This was the first book in what promises to be an absolutely brilliant series. The characters in this book that we were introduced to were deep in their own ways as well as relatable. The storyline was dark and chilling with plenty of twists along the way, with the conclusion finishing the story off brilliant at the end. This book was right up my street, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I can’t wait for the next instalment! But the only forensic evidence belongs to a little girl who was abducted and murdered twenty years ago.
