When looking into the abyss, be careful of who’s looking back…

When the lifeless body of a psychiatrist is uncovered in the heart of Edinburgh, the responsibility of unraveling this murder falls upon DCI Harry McNeil and his dedicated team. This well-respected professional had maintained a thriving private practice, commanding deep respect within his field.

This is the second part of book 18. Both books are short so I am not sure why they weren’t written as one…probably to sell more books. My review of the previous book was frustrated by the ending and hoped that this book would continue the story and it did. Thankfully I had immediate gratification.
