Dark Remedies (DCI Dani Bevan, #8) Reviews
-
Let down by the ending.
This was a slow burner. It has been quite some time since I read the last book in this series and unfortunately, if I thought book 8 would help prompt my memory of the general story line, I was wrong. So after a slow start and trying to remember the charachters, the plot started to take on pace and became interesting.
I recommend to anyone who like myself, who left a large time gap between book 7 & 8, that it may be a good idea to read book 7 again before starting this book. There is quite a lot of detail in this story which seams to follow on directly from the pervious and therefore left me at a loss when trying to piece things together in my mind.
Its a 4 * from me and not a 5, due to the slow start but it did pick up around half way, then quite surprisingly the last chapter or so, I don't know what happened but the author seams to have slipped from believable, into some sort of strange murder by numbers routine and it becomes very cheesy. The ending is disappointing and really let's down a potentially good book x -
3.5 stars.

DCI Dani Bevan returns for the 8th instalment. A young woman's body is found floating in the swimming pool at a private party. Who she is and why she is there are the first questions that Bevan and her team must find answers too. They also need to work out who killed her and why.
This is another solid book by Katherine Pathak which I really enjoyed. I think that this is a very good series with a lot of potential to keep going. I would highly recommend to all police procedural fans. -
Previous books better
Just could not get involved with this one. Did not care for any of the characters, even the regulars that I have liked before.
Her trip to USA to testify, her visit to the prison & with the son didn't seem to fit even as a side story. The ending just didn't ring true -
Fab book
Enjoying the fact that the main characters are flawed.
Makes it seem more real.
Glad Alice is featured more.
Filled with strong women. -
Lazy plot development
-
Clever
A lot of time ins to past books, so if this is the first of the series you've read, it won't really make sense. Read the previous books, they are worth it
