Payback

After her husband is murdered in Edinburgh, a grieving accountant is pulled into a dangerous web tied to money laundering for a feared crime boss. As she tries to make sense of the situation and protect her family, both criminals and police pressure her to control what she does next.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this twisty Scottish crime thriller if you like tightly wound mystery and high-stakes pressure; Not for you if you dislike plot holes, unrealistic police behavior, or endings that feel unresolved, especially if you’ve liked Karen Pirie or Black Earth Rising.
