Wouldn't want DI Grayson investigating anything!

This could have been an interesting read except for the "hero" breaking just about every investigatory procedure category in his quest to be proven right about a pedo. I guess he drew the line at planting "evidence" but I was waiting for that. His sidekick was a little better. At least she responded to the actual evidence not the "feeling in his heart." The other characters were interesting and their psychological motivations were far more consistent and believable. As I said, it could have been really interesting if handled differently.

Character driven procedural

A Extremely Well written procedural . Not a thriller, but also not a “cozy” No more words needed
