The Infirmary, a review by Joanna

We listened to the multicast audio version of this, which has some well known names in the credits and I thought the voices were well done. From looking at other reviews, I get the impression that this one is much darker than the following books, and that only readers new to the series, like me, would not know who the killer was. As it was, the combination of the title and the limited suspect pool made it pretty obvious to me. The perpetrator’s motives are never really explained and it was all a bit gratuitously gruesome. I’d also guessed what was going happen that would set up the rest of the series. I do already have Holy Island on audiobook so will give Ross another go, but the mystery aspects will have to improve if I’m to continue beyond that.
