Publisher's Summary

Driftnet is a thrilling crime novel by Lin Anderson and the first novel in the series about forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod.

Summoned in the early hours of the morning to a Glasgow flat, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod is confronted by a horrific crime scene. A teenage boy has been found mutilated and strangled to death by a vicious killer.

But her grim task of scanning for evidence is made even more unsettling than normal by the boy’s remarkable resemblance to her – and by the fact that she gave up a baby boy for adoption 17 years ago....

Overcome by guilt, Rhona sets out to find the boy’s killer and establish whether the young victim is her long-lost son. In doing so, she finds herself immersed in an investigation that seeks to expose a dark underworld that preys on the young and vulnerable. As the case builds it soon becomes clear that some very powerful men have a lot to lose if she succeeds, and everything to gain if she dies.

An enjoyable read/listen! Could see it play out in my mind as if watching PBS!

good

So, these books were just released in audiobook version Audible, and at just under 12 CAD, I thought, ok. I've read a few of her books and thought they were alright, but I wasn't hugely enthused. (Reborn was actually really frustrating.) But again, 12 bucks for 7 hours of entertainment? Who could resist?
And I liked it more than I thought I would. The only thing is, I'm a massive prude and have zero interest in reading sex scenes, and this was full of them. Definitely not my style, and I did find myself cringing quite a bit.
The story was solid, though, and hard to put down. The characters were reasonably well developed and not wholly unlikable, and the plotting was great.
