When an elderly woman is found dead at her home, newly fledged DC Kirsty Wilson is called to the scene. It appears that the woman had a mysterious visitor in the early hours of that morning - someone dressed as a carer, but with much darker intentions. It soon becomes obvious that this was not death by natural causes, in fact, it was murder. Before she can catch her breath, DC Wilson is thrown in at the deep end as another body turns up - this time it's a gruesome crime scene, the victim a well-known drug dealer from Glasgow's mean streets, and there's no question that this was a brutal execution.
The two cases appear to have nothing in common, but when a second vulnerable person is murdered in their sleep, the police realise that it's only a matter of time before the next victim emerges and Detective Superintendent William Lorimer is called in to help DC Wilson investigate. This case is big and it's about to get more personal than either of them could have imagined...

I didn't realise that this was book 13 in a series. However, as the story opens with Kirsty Wilson beginning her time as a Detective Constable & as her mentor was also a new character, DS Murdoch I didn't feel I was coming into a well established series & missing lots of back story. Sadly that's about the only positive thing I have to say about it. I'm not really sure why I didn't enjoy it. The pieces are all in place for a good story, indeed the subject of euthanasia is one that intrigues me but somehow it all struck me as a bit lacklustre, there was nothing that gripped me or had me on the edge of my seat. Unlucky thirteen indeed.....
