There is a lot to like in this story. I like the relationship between DS McAvoy and his wife and his boss Trish Pharaoh. The writing is great. I am not a fan of the story though. The originating thread of a vicious drug war gives way to a violent drama involving casual sex among promiscuous men and woman of all kinds. It was not so explicit as to require hand washing after reading, but I still had a hard time engaging with the characters. Even so, David Mark's writing is lovely and I am becoming a huge fan of Detective Sergeant Aector McAvoy. Original Skin is not as good as his first book The Dark Winter (a 5-star review from me), but it is still worth a read.
