Review: Good but wordy.

I enjoyed reading this book about a police case in Scotland, but it was a bit wordy. I don't need every little detail about buildings which there seemed to be a lot of. I was able to get enough of a visual so that I could "see" the countryside and the cities and villages. That is my only complaint. I have to be honest and say that I missed the clue that gave the book its title. I don't know what it references in the book.The characters were well developed and interesting people. It was also interesting to see the commonality between police/criminal case related stories here and there.It kept me intrigued and I read it every chance I had to finish it and see what happened. I was happy to find out that this book was the first of a series of five (so far) that follow the career of one investigator who was recently promoted in the first book. I will definetly read the next one to see if it meets the standard of the first and then try the others. I will also check into other books by this author.
