Sometimes this is good: I’ve saved a fortune by not buying new books, and in this case, it means not having the torture of having to wait another two years to find what happens next. I finally bought this last week, as I have a ARC of the next one due on Tuesday, and this is not a series you can read out of order - and after That Ending, I am very glad it worked out this way.Set immediately after the events of Splinter the Silence, this has Carol guilt-ridden over the deaths caused by a drunk-driver who escaped conviction because her seniors got her off the hook so that she could lead ReMit, the new Major Incident Team. Tony has moved into her converted barn to help her cling on to her sobriety, but their relationship is as awkward and complicated as ever. When a woman’s body is found in a burning car, the ReMIT team are tasked with finding the stranger who picked her up at a wedding, but with limited evidence and a meticulous killer who is always one step ahead, they are powerless to stop him doing it again...There’s a good reason Ms McDermid is known as the Queen of British Crime Fiction - she has created a varied cast of characters that we end up caring deeply about in spite of how damaged they are - and not just the leads. Her plots continue to surprise - this one upsets the conventions of the genre by revealing who, how and why at an early stage, relying on “what’s going to happen?” to maintain the suspense - and trust me, you won’t predict this one.I enjoyed the parallel plot line featuring Paula (the real heroine of this series) and her teenage ward Torin - and how they go about solving his predicament.I do not recommend reading this if you are new to the series: while she’s better at avoiding spoilers for her previous books than many authors, and enough relevant backstory is provided, to understand it all properly you need to have read at least the three preceding books, and given that the whole series is brilliant, why would you deprive yourself? For those who are up to date, watch out for spoilers, but be assured this is another cracker.4.5 rounded up for writerly bravery. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Insidious Niggles *by S***O on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2017* "Like" is usually the lowest of my reactions to a new McDermid, and it's a bit surprising to find only a 4-star on this one, even though the main characters are as intriguing as ever, the ongoing Hill-Jordan relationship is still chugging, coughing, spluttering and recovering on its way, the sub-plot with Stacey the Chinese comp wizard was fun, and there are a lot of other Good Things as usual, including a Northern English setting that manages to be gritty and multicultural and otherwise diverse without having to resort to filth in the streets and grime on every window pane. It's just that, hmmm, after yea-these-many books of bringing down serial killers, I'm wondering, can we have one that doesn't have to produce long graphic sections about the agonies of only *female* victims, for once?Surely there are people who occasionally serial murder with gender equity? And yes, women are far ahead in the victim list of domestic violence and other such brutal attacks, but does it actually help to deter people by showing such fairly graphic suffering? Or might it even encourage a possible would-be perp one day?The studies are against depictions of graphic violence, porn, etc, actually influencing real-life evildoers, but sometimes I'm not so sure. So - only 4 stars for Carol and Tony this time. Wider range of victims, perhaps? ### ⭐⭐⭐ Missing something... *by F***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2017* I have been a huge fan of Val McDermid for almost 2 decades. I have read almost all her Carol Jordan and Tony Hill novels, as well as some of the other fiction and non-fiction books. I have been really looking forward to this book wanting to see how the story would unfold after book no. 9, and have pre-ordered it as soon as it was possible. Maybe that is why I don't feel totally satisfied with it now I've finished it...Honouring the author's request not to spoil the fun, I will not get into details. For every fan of the duo, it will still be a must-read, and they will buy it anyway. People new to McDermid's prose should start elsewhere.The style is there, unmistakably, so I've found myself in a familiar setting straight away, but the stories of the personal lives of the characters have to my mind overcast the criminal plot. The events of the previous installment of the series left the characters in a difficult place and it was somewhat interesting to see where the new part would take them. After the final twist, it still makes me curious what book 11 will bring, should it come out. But it's like watching the 7th season of a TV series, when the focus turns from the actual events onto the characters. Finding the balance between the two has always been McDermid's forte. Hope the next time she writes, she will find it again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/61511067-insidious-intent-tony-hill-novels-4-hardcover-december-5-2017](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/61511067-insidious-intent-tony-hill-novels-4-hardcover-december-5-2017) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
