I've always enjoyed Bolton's thrillers and adore her Lacey Flint series, but this one...hoo, boy! The Falkland Islands setting was interesting, but it didn't help alleviate the unremitting bleakness of the plot. Peopled with characters I couldn't much like and found it hard to care about and the final third was utterly farcical. Not one of her best. Very disappointing.
