I've always loved crime fiction of all types and recently I've been indulging in quite a bit of it. FIrst off is Val McDermid's Beneath the Bleeding. I've read a fair amount of her stuff before, but this is one that had escaped me until now.
Quite simply, I completely loved this book! It scared me at times and was so realistic that it was also hard to always remember that this was a work of fiction rather than a real-life story in a newspaper. What made it even more real is that just a couple of days after finishing the book we went on a day trip to somewhere that gave Val McDermid inspiration for some of the plot. I certainly don't want to give away any of the plot, but I will be writing about our trip to Northumberland soon when things will become clearer. Until then here's a little teaser…
