Graeme Blundell The Australian Apr 22
Each scene sets up the next, embodying the essence of exceptional crime writing. Alongside this, the stories exude a captivatingly pulpy quality. This instalment is no different. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Feb 18

Peter S @Wibbly22 Mar 6 Seemed to have been written by AI and acted by robots. Stilted dialogue and inserts of information that sounded like wikipedia quotes. (At one point someone actually made reference to someone sounding like wikipedia) I know we are expected to allow some latitude with regards to forensics, we understand that there would be many scientists working within their own specialties. We have a team of 4 or 5 rather than having loads of different forensic characters - that is acceptable. However, we now see the team doing police work and stretching the bounds of believibility When you add the very strange gaslighting and odd dialogue about ethnicity and of politics, it made it look like the writer(s) may have left a 12 year old with a vivid imagination and access to ChatGPT to generate the script. I will not be watching this trite rubbish anymore. See more Read all reviews
