The Hangman's Song (Inspector McLean, #3)

by
This third book in the series picks up the themes of Books 1and 2. Due to this I realised that I had forgotten a fair few details and so revisited Book 2, The Book of Souls, to refresh my memory.
While certainly an engaging crime thriller/police procedural I did not find it quite as strong as the first two novels. Part of that was actually due to the constant issues that McLean has with his fellow officers. It does seem a toxic environment for him.
The novel came to a fairly satisfying conclusion wrapping up a loose trilogy. I have committed to the next book already and look forward to seeing how Oswald takes the various subtle occult themes forward or if now he has found success and rounded out the story begun in Book 1, if he will write a more mundane focused police procedural.
