Blood Runs Cold (DS Max Craigie, #4)

I am a great lover of police procedural novels and have been avidly following the team in this book with great interest. They investigate police corruption in ‘Police Scotland’ but on the quiet.
This book starts with a missing Albanian child and the case rapidly blows up into a huge investigation. The team are tight: Max and Janie have a great understanding of each other having worked together over several cases; their boss, Ross, seems to take pleasure in being sarcastic and caustic, and Norma the whizz data analyst to mention a few.
I find that these cases are so fast-paced, I hardly dare breathe and I can feel the exhaustion of the team in the hours they devote to solving a crime. They are both reactive and proactive, going to work and never quite sure when they will next be home, dogged in their pursuit of criminals and pull in a wide variety of contacts with specialised skills to help them.
There are nods to previous cases from earlier books which I enjoy, but each can be read as a stand-alone.
These are brilliantly plotted, fast-paced and twisty tales. They reflect the dark, sordid underworld and it is very clear that there is never an easy way to solve a crime, except hard work, research and determination.
One of my favourite series of books, a thrilling, tense, tough read!
