Commentary Toward Books The Soul of Discretion (Simon Serrailler #8)
The cathedral town of Lafferton seems idyllic, but in many ways it is just like any other place. As part of the same rapidly changing world, it shares the same hopes and fears, and the same kinds of crime, as any number of towns up and down the land.When one day DC Simon Serrailler is called in by Lafferton's new Chief Constable, Kieron Bright, he is met by four plainclothes officers. He is asked to take the lead role in a complex, potentially dangerous undercover operation and must leave town immediately, without telling anyone - not even his girlfriend Rachel, who has only just moved in with him.
Meanwhile, Simon's sister Cat is facing difficult choices at work that will test her dedication to the NHS. But an urgent call about her and Simon's father, Richard, soon presents her with a far greater challenge much closer to home.To complete his special op, Simon must inhabit the mind of the worst kind of criminal. As the op unfolds, Lafferton is dragged into the sort of case every town dreads. And Simon faces the fight of his life.

In the primary story, Simon goes off the grid in an undercover op for the police, in an attempt to find usable information to undermine a pedophile ring. While missing Simons presence, his sister Cat continues trying toThis one will stay with me for a while. I love this series with the regular characters coming in and out of each book with various degrees of importance to the plot. I can't believe I only have one more to read in this series.
Wow. So dark. So very, very dark. Not just the Simon main story but Richard's side story - it did make me wonder why we needed both in one volume (and dropped this to a 4.5). Hill frequently "goes there" with darkness, yet this felt a little more than usual. Richard's part felt a little forced, despite our seeing him increasingly as a bully and potentially an abuser.So the main story? Disturbing to say the least: Simon enters the world of child pornography, and while we don't "see" anything, his
Started reading this last night. Got up early to finish it and I have spent the rest of today trying to recover. This is no easy book to read, or to forget. I will not put any spoilers in, but suffice it to say this has to be one of the most disturbing yet at the same time, brilliantly written and heart-breaking (fiction) books I have read in a long, long time.I was left feeling shaken and in some places close to tears by the depth of emotions, the superb insight into peoples' minds and the
More of the same in the Simon Serrailler series. I will be getting around to the next one some time soon 😊
