Why read it?
1 author picked In Cold Blood as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This series has a character seen too rarely in this genre.
DI Isobel Blood is a middle-aged woman with a teenage daughter. We see her trying to juggle her often emotionally draining work with parenting duties. This is a really good introduction to DI Blood and a strong cast of supporting characters.
Set in Derbyshire, it has a really strong sense of place. The story is tightly plotted, with deeply satisfying reveals and reversals, and the author balances the investigation with Blood’s personal challenges.
The mystery itself is imaginative and original and difficult issues are dealt with sensitively and compassionately.
From Paul's list on British Bobbies currently on the beat.
