However, the use of four MASSIVE chapters loses the flow that past books have included and make digesting the overall novel a little harder, in my view.

for a stand-alone about a police detective, a developmentally delayed boy, and a package everyone in North Dakota wants to grab. Hill's assistance, Jordan must try to determine if this is a copycat or if the authorities got it wrong the first go round. Val McDermid is an intelligent, supremely talented novelist and with this latest tale, she is writing at the height of her power. The Torment of Others by Val McDermid is the 4th of her Dr Tony Hill and DCI Carol Jordan series and the 2006 Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award winner.Sometimes it may not be emotional enough, but it is nonetheless a very effective narrative driving the story forward smoothly. Much of THE TORMENT OF OTHERS is centred around DCI Jordan’s activities to catch the person responsible for murdering two prostitutes. Carol is working on 2 major cases – 1 featuring a serial killer whose methods mirror a killer who has been locked away for 2 years and the other a case of two young boys missing and feared dead. Carol Jordon, Bradford Detective Chief Inspector, needs to prove she is up to the job after being raped in the previous book. This is the first book I've read featuring the characters, but I was irritated by it before the novel is even half-way through.

this manner does not do any good to this book because a predictable plot and wordy descriptions cannot really make the book gripping and unputdownable.How often the action stops so we can be told things--things that aren't endearing, aren't flattering, aren't pleasant.
