Summary

A child makes a horrifying discovery – a serial killer is on the loose. Final Cut is the sixth novel in Lin Anderson's Glasgow-set forensic crime series featuring Rhona MacLeod.

'One of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction' –
Daily Mail

A stranger causes Claire's car to crash in a snowstorm – with her nine-year-old daughter, Emma, in the back seat. When she regains consciousness, Claire is frantic to discover that her daughter is missing. Emma is found in the woods nearby, unharmed but cradling another child's skull. She claims it 'called' to her – and she can hear another voice nearby . . .

Forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod is trying to uncover the identity of a corpse, found badly burnt in a skip. The body is wearing a soldier's ID tag, but DNA tests prove that this body is not the soldier. When DS Michael McNab asks Rhona for help identifying the remains Emma found, they discover that the two cases are linked in ways they could never have imagined . . .

'The best Scottish crime series since Rebus' – Daily Record

Final Cut is the sixth book in the Rhona MacLeod series by Lin Anderson. It is followed by The Reborn.

Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Martina Cole and Silent Witness.

Thoroughly enjoyable

I'm really enjoying this series. The narration is excellent and the plots are gripping and well-written with characters you care about.

Intriguing story but plot outline repetitive

I have read a number of the Rhona MacLeod series and generally enjoy the plots but the more of these novels I read the more predictable they are becoming. I find it extremely frustrating how Rhona MacLeod repeatedly enters into dangerous situations, having obviously learnt nothing from her previous close encounters with danger. I do not fully understand why the author has written her character as a forensic pathologist (in Scotland), as her involvement in crime investigation is always beyond that, which in reality, that role would encompass (and I suspect the police would not tolerate). Why was her character not simply a police officer? I find many of the current authors of crime/police procedural series use very similar plots where the main female characters seem to repeatedly enter into dangerous situations without support and ignoring procedure and common sense. Very annoying to the point where I want to yell at them to stop being so arrogant and stupid! I do enjoy the McNab character though, despite his many flaws.
