Just about everyone is related to everyone else either through marriage or birth. It seemed to me to be an unnecessary complicating factor to an already overly complicated story with a cast of hundreds. Honest, it reads like a mediocre Hollywood action movie wannabe. The plot line is so surreal that I expected some character to jump off a 20 story building, flap his arms and be said to land safely on the ground to run off and kill again.Some psychologist (shrink??) appears a few times and literally acts as if in charge of the investigation, answering questions from the team about how to do police work. In fact, police use police officers who have been trained to criminal profile; police officers have relatively little respect for people without a police background who come to tell them what to think and do. So this whole line was improbable and unnecessary to the plot.
By the end of the book, I had no idea how many murders had been committed and most of all the WHYs! I still couldn't sort some of the characters out. Is this named-person the brother-in-law or the body guard? And what was this woman's or that woman's relationship to the story?
I can't say that I will be reading book 2 or 3.

CRASH POINT DI Frank Miller series Book 1 edition by John Carson Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Great read if you like British police dramas. (Which I do) catches your interest quickly and doesn't let go. The plot is so involve that I had to slow down and concentrate soas not to get lost. Is fast pace all the way through. I immediately bought his next book.
A great debut crime novel. Crash Point starts at pace and keeps it up all the way through. The plot keeps you hooked and comes to a satisfying conclusion. I particularly like the main character Frank Miller - I look forward to reading more about him as he is developed in the upcoming books. I also hope we see Molloy again, as he is a great foil to Miller.
The story is not a simple police procedural. There are twists and turns that keep the reader guessing. When the story really gets going, it's hard to put down as the chapters flow nicely, each one ending with the perfect tease - you just have to keep reading.
Good work, John. More of the same, please!
This is a great start to what promises to be a very good series and will be up there with the best Scotish crime procedurals,my only very slight concern is that sometimes I forgot what city I was in,it could have been London, Manchester or even New York, please put a bit more Edinborough in your future books, but I say once again a very good read, and looking forward to the next one which I have bought.
I didn't finish, mainly because I couldn't figure out all the characters, or all the toing and froing between the stories and flashbacks. I did try. I got to chapter 27, realized I was not even 30% in to the book. Looked to see how many more chapters there were, 91! The reason I said "full of surprises" is because I was surprised at how complicated a story it was. I think it could have been good with better editing or someone telling the author to rewrite.
A great many characters which made it difficult to keep track of who they all were related to. Very complex family which the killer is part of. I could imagine how the killer had emotional problems, if that is what they had. After about half of the book it got pretty interesting, many people died by the same killer, like jack the ripper! Really surprising who was the killer was and who was also involved. I might read another of Frank Miller series books, well written.
A poorly written, poorly edited, poorly proofed confusing tale of intermarried Edinburgh families, some crooked, some cops some both, and very little to distinguish between the two.
Lots of flashbacks try to give the plot some heft, but unfortunately the flashbacks only serve to confuse.
Some nouns were capitalized, ala German, some names were in small print, some words made no sense and in general, this has to be one of the most poorly produced books I have ever read.
I was going to buy the second volume, but won't because the flaws are too terribly annoying. And the book is puerile.
Please look elsewhere for reasonably plotted and edited books.
I am a voracious consumer of police procedurals and detective stories, particularly UK-based, and I purchased this first in the Frank Miller series along with a number of others that I had not sampled previously. When I was a short way into the book it was revealed that the location of the story is Edinburgh, inviting obvious comparisons with Ian Rankin's Rebus series. Suffice to say that Carson is no Rankin and Miller is no Rebus. The plot-line is frankly unbelievable, featuring a police department seemingly staffed by a never-ending stream of fathers, sons, brothers, sisters, brothers in law, wives etc, a shadowy arm of the UK security services that has the budget to have a team in a Range Rover spying on the bad guys 24 hours a day, but never in the right place when yet another of the victims hits the deck. The number of bloody murders in the story is mind-boggling, such that you would think Miller and the other police officers still left standing by the end of the book would have been sacked on the spot rather than returning for more episodes in the series. And perhaps most annoying was the poor proof reading and editing of the book. I spotted countless instances of missing words, wrongly-placed apostrophes etc. and as someone who spent over 5 years living and working in the beautiful country of Colombia I tend to lose my rag when one character is described on several occasions as coming from Columbia.
Just about everyone is related to everyone else either through marriage or birth. It seemed to me to be an unnecessary complicating factor to an already overly complicated story with a cast of hundreds. Honest, it reads like a mediocre Hollywood action movie wannabe. The plot line is so surreal that I expected some character to jump off a 20 story building, flap his arms and be said to land safely on the ground to run off and kill again.
Some psychologist (shrink??) appears a few times and literally acts as if in charge of the investigation, answering questions from the team about how to do police work.
