Changes

Estelle's husband was Fin Cohen, equally famous for being a musician and for being severely anorexic. On the day that Estelle left, Fin came to see Anna, perhaps not knowing whether he sought comfort, explanation or reassurance. What he didn't expect was to find himself whisked off to prove that a woman imprisoned for the murder of three people was actually innocent and that Leon Parker, one of the victims in the sinking of a boat, was not the guilty party either. When Anna started listening to ''Death and the Dana'', a MisoNetwork podcast she realised that she knew Leon Parker and even though it was many years ago and their meetings were fleeting, she couldn't believe that he was a killer.

I had to suspend disbelief at the way that Anna transitioned from being a housewife and mother to being the driving force to unmask the real killers of the three people who set sail so innocently on the ''Dana'' only for it to explode and sink in the Bay of Biscay. Still, but once I was past that point I was caught up in a breakneck chase. Characterisation The characterisation is excellent and Denise Mina handles Anna McDonald with a particular skill, given that she's really two characters in one. I liked Fin Cohen too: he's used to being recognised and has come to terms with the fact that everybody has a view on his eating disorder. He cares, about his wife and about Anna, if not necessarily about the people who sank with the ''Dana''.
