Helen Fields has mastered the unexpected ending. That was a messed up story, there were so many twists and I loved the alternating story lines. Now I need to go read the first 6 books in the D.I. Callanach series. Looking forward to reading more of Helen's work in the future. ( )

This is definitely a book that will keep you wildly turning pages well into the night. It moves along at breakneck speed right until the end, and just when I thought, "Phew" I made it!", along comes another hit out of left field, and when I actually did shut the book, I had to sit there for a minute take the ending in. Right up front, I should tell you that this is book 7 in the DI Luc Callanach series, but even though I haven't read the other books in the series, I had no difficulty following along with Callanach and DCI Ava Turner as they are tracking The Edinburgh Bomber in and around the streets of Edinburgh. The body count keeps piling up, and still they feel no nearer to figuring out the perpetrator. The secondary story that unfolds within the main story, always marked by "Before" after the Chapter number, made the story come together a bit for me. It also added some context to the plot. I do not want to go into any description of the plot, as this book should be read with no pre-conceived notions, but I will say that the book is a high-octane, twisted, and very intense read. It will take you for a ride and won't let you off until the very last word. ( )

Fantastic story! This is well written, with well developed characters and an excellent plot. It captured my attention from the first page and kept it until the last. Set in Edinburgh the police are dealing with bombing attacks on specific people. A side story about a young couple whose relationship has gone spectacularly wrong obviously has a connection. Fields brought it all together at the end with each piece of the story clicking into place. Stunning, heart-stopping, with characters to care about.

This was my first by Fields but the 6th in the series and while I don't feel that I missed anything by starting here I'll be going back to the beginning of the series as soon as I can. ( )

One for Sorrow by Helen Fields is a highly recommended police procedural and the seventh book in the D.I. Callanach series.

DCI Ava Turner and DI Luc Callanach take on a case that requires all hands on deck as a bomber seems to be targeting/taking specific people hostage and then using them in the crimes. The bombs are also resulting in the deaths of investigators and emergency medical personal. While investigating the current bombings they need to try and uncover why this is happening and find some clues or evidence that link all the victims to the individual responsible.

In alternate chapters titled "Before" that are set back in time before the current situation, the relationship between a young woman and her boyfriend is examined. At first these offer a bit of relief from the tension created by the current investigation, but soon they also take a chilling turn.

Turner is taking this case very personally and is out for justice no matter the personal cost. Each new situation created by the bomber places all the team members present in a dangerous, precarious situation. Clearly these bombings are personal to the perpetrator too.

While the tension is high in the investigation in the present, clues can also be found in the chapters set in the before chapters. The alternating story lines work well in this novel as each have their own separate plot and clues while they become more anxious and suspenseful. Both lead to an explosive ending. The writing is excellent and the pacing is taut and brisk.

As my first book in the series, One for Sorrow can be read as a stand alone procedural. I think it would help with backstory to have read others in the series, but I didn't experience any real problems following the plot due to a lack of information about the characters. I was not as invested as long time readers in Turner and Callanach's relationship, however, and don't have all the information on the team members.
