The Killing by David Hewson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have never read a book written from a TV series then turned into a book. Initially it dose not make sense. 'The book usually being better than the film!'

This is an exception to the rule! The plot twists and turns relentlessly, and I can see how the TV series was plotted and paced through the chapters.

The tiny problem I found with this, was that I could judge that they had no found the murderer, even though an arrest had been made, because I could see that I still had say four pages a head of me, and I knew the book could not possibly come to an end yet.

That is a small quibble, in what is ultimately a solid piece of entertainment!

As a side note to my review. The lead Detective felt to me like she suffered from some form of autism! Interesting use character trait!
