“One for sorrow, two for joy
Three for a girl, four for a boy
Five for silver, six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told…”
The seventh book in Helen Fields‘ D.I. Callanach series, One For Sorrow sees Edinburgh gripped by the greatest terror it has ever known. A lone bomber is targeting victims across the city and no one is safe.
DCI Ava Turner and DI Luc Callanach face death every day – and not just the deaths of the people being taken hostage by the killer. When it becomes clear that with every tip-off they are walking into a trap designed to kill them too, Ava and Luc know that finding the truth could mean paying the ultimate price. But with the threat – and body count – rising daily, and no clue as to who’s behind it, neither Ava nor Luc know whether they will live long enough to tell the tale…
Rating: 
Having read this entire series this year, I couldn’t wait to get to this [current] final instalment. And as my second favourite book in the series, One For Sorrow does definitely not disappoint in its intensity, character development, or shocking crimes.
A fast-paced and exhilarating read, One For Sorrow is an action-packed and tense thriller that will have your heart absolutely racing, for more reasons than one.
The investigation is absolutely gripping. And although I thought I knew who was behind the crimes as two equally fascinating narratives are brought together, but the final twists really pulled on my heartstrings and got me thinking.
I think some of the ending felt a tad rushed, but I didn’t expect any of it to be as compelling as it was. I wouldn’t recommend reading this one as a standalone as I think you need to know Luc and Ava quite well to get the full impact of this one, but it’s definitely a series that you need to get into if you haven’t already!
And after that ending, I need another instalment NOW! Please say there’s one coming soon!
