Did not finish. 50 pages in and the tedious "this happened, then this happened, then this" reporting of events with no conflict had not hooked me. The first person narration made the lack of conflict all the more immediate and irritating. I'm getting too old to just finish things out of principle and will move on to something with some stakes and pacing. I'm sure the author's experience makes the description accurate but my god this was dull. ( ) Never Forget is a really original and highly entertaining British crime procedural. It is written by an actual police officer, and that showed. The investigative work is described in great detail. The plot was logical and totally believable, and the characters were realistic. I couldn't believe that this was really the first book written by Lisa Cutts. The other thing I really appreciated was the fact that although the main character had suffered traumatically in her childhood, she was not being portrayed as the stereotypical troubled sufferer. Ok, she drinks and has boyfriend issues, but who doesn't. Still, she appears a lot more "ordinary" than your average fictional crime fighter. That made it different, and I really liked it. Another nice touch was the humor and witty banter between the characters. My one criticism would be the amount of people that were involved in the intricate plot. At times, it became confusing to keep up with the different relationships. But as this is the first in a series, I can see that it made sense to introduce all the recurring characters in depth. The audiobook version is competently narrated by Deryn Edwards. When I finished it, I bought book 2 straightaway. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
