Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for this eARC. Having read the previous book I was looking forward to this one. I enjoyed this book, I thought it was a good read which was written well and it was easy to follow the plot line and story. It just didn't wow me. I really like the main character who is now in CID. The writing style is good and engaging and the plot line is believable and all to realistic, and I loved the humour in parts of the story. Colyear is pulled into a investigation that has many unexpected twists and turns and involves other divisions and areas. I enjoyed reading of his working relationships with his DCI and work colleagues and their banter and liked the small glimpses into his personal and home life. The story really gained pace as it progressed and I was glad to see some of the characters I didn’t like get their come uppance towards the end. Overall a good, solid police procedural that I would recommend.

Don Colyear has begun his career in Edinburgh's CID, but the transition has not been easy. The workload and paperwork are on thing but being micro-managed by DCI Tempelton as well is more than testing. And when Colyear's investigation into the mysterious death spiral into a complicated case centered on a massive consignment of Class A drugs, a double murder and a clash between low-level and professional criminals, his instincts are put to the test. The pace is slow to begin with, but it soon picks up. The characters are well developed and believable. This was such an easy book to read. We get some background story to the main character and his work relationship the rest of the team. I quite enjoyed reading this book. The location is familiar to me, I do like reading a book where I know where the events are taking place. I would like to thank #NetGalley #AllisonandBusby and the author #StuartJohnstone for my ARC of #RunToGround in exchange for an honest review.
