Summary
DS Siyal's first day. The worst first day.
DS Rakesh Siyal is an idealist. Frustrated as an Edinburgh human rights lawyer, he joins the police, determined to solve the problems he sees with the criminal justice system from the inside, rather than out. His first day as a cop sees him sent down to Galashiels in the Scottish Borders, where he’s given a simple task – return a suspect to Glasgow to face justice. But when the suspect escapes on Rakesh’s watch, can he track down a brutal murderer in countryside he’s never visited in his life? Will his first day on the job prove to be a false start? False Start is a prequel to the DI Rob Marshall series, starring a haunted detective who masks his trauma with biting humor. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride, JD Kirk and LJ Ross.

Good stuff
I thought it was a good short story which helps us understand DS Rakesh Siyal a little more. It obviously covers in detail how he got his nickname of “Shunty”, plus his first meeting & day with the “BallBreaker” Boss …. she’s harsh.

A little flat
Great narration but I found the story line a little poor, it certainly didn't grab you and keep you guessing. It was flat for want of a better word not sure I'll carry on with this series.

Mediocre
Angus King rescues a very mediocre tale. Apart from explaining ‘Shunty’ it was contrived and in places bordering on farce.

Interesting background but no thrills
Interesting getting Shunty’s background but it was disappointingly short and not exactly value for money
