I know I read this book. I remember enjoying it as I read it, but I also vaguely remember being disappointed as it descended into overused conspiracy tropes by about 2/3 of the way through.
About three months after reading it, I have no further memory of any of the details or characters or writing style

Meh. It was like the people writing it couldn't decide on the format. So with some you got a history of the show, and with others you got some psycho-analytic essay.

Excellent Continuation. This book picks up shortly after The Memory Man leaves off, with some major changes for the team - yet can also be read independently of the first, if you don't mind getting references to the ending of the first book while reading this one. Yet again, Varg and Ash find themselves starting a seemingly straightforward quest only for it to spiral into so much more very quickly. I will note that those sensitive to rape scenes will likely be disturbed by one scene in particular early - a not-overly-graphic rape is described "on screen" - and potentially by later developments in the story, though later scenes are likely not as problematic for people with these sensitivities as the early scene. Overall yet another very strong outing for Savile, and particularly with the rather abrupt ending in a cliffhanger, I very much want to see at least one more book in this series. Very much recommended.… (more)

Excellent Memory. This is the first book in a new police mystery series, centered on a Eurocrimes Division with authority and agents spread throughout Europe, including a United Kingdom in the midst of the Brexit split. It is intensely dark - we open with a politician being tortured and murdered, and it really doesn't get any brighter from there. But also very good - I'm no fan of cops (being American and seeing what they get away with here), but Ash and Varg are shown to be good people approaching the case from different perspectives with the same end goal: solve the crime, period. Truly one of the best mysteries I've read in quite a while, and the dark and grit is one of the reasons for this. Yes, the reader gets a sense early on of what the scope of the mystery likely is, but the way Savile pulls it all together and throws in just enough reveals along the way, with nearly earth shattering (and so very tragic if based on anything remotely similar in real life) reveals in the last 10%, certainly for our heroes. There is enough backstory to both Ash and Varg that could merit a few prequel books, and there is enough potential here that by the end of the book, when the two *finally* meet, this reader was genuinely hoping for a Book 2.… (more)
