About this audiobook

Southern Spain. It is in Semana Santa - Holy Week - and the heat is building up in the city. This is always a difficult time for the police, with thousands of visitors adding to thousands of hooded penitents parading through the medieval streets. In the modern slums and the fine old houses of the rich and influential, some have secrets going back to the terrible days of the Civil War. When a hideous double murder is discovered on the first day, the men of the force - and visiting female academic, Maria Gutierrez - know they are in for a long week...

    David hewson is one of my favourite thriller writers and, although this one disappointed me a little, it was still worth reading. He paints a convincing picture of Seville during Holy Week, a visit I have always wanted to make but after this I am having doubts.
    The characters of the police officers and the criminology professor are generally interesting and well drawn, as were several of the other key figures. I felt thta there was an unnecessary level of gruesomeness about some of the details of the muders, but perhaps this went with the claustrophobia of the Holy Week celebrations, the oppresiveness of the legacy of the Civil War and of course, the corrida itself which is central to the book.
    My final comment is that the book is a bot too long.
