A Taste for Malice – Michael J Malone – simply outstanding

I feel like that I have just stepped off a rollercoaster! What a ride! A Taste for Malice takes us into the twisted mind of the bogeywoman who dedicates her life to the psychological and physical abuse of young boys and DI McBain’s dogged determination to catch her (despite the fact that he has been confined to desk duty following his last case).
Once again I was drawn into the story from the very first page, the familiar streets of Glasgow and my childhood holiday destination of Ayrshire greeting me like old friends. DI McBain is a believable Glasgow policeman, choice language and wandering eyes – yet underneath is a deeply flawed and damaged man still coming to terms with events of his past. It’s hard not to connect with him.
Absolutely loved this book and cannot recommend it highly enough – roll on the next instalment in the series. Well deserved five stars!
