Is this significantly better than The Yard? I was very disappointed by that book, so am I likely to like this one better?

I found both books to be fine in terms of passing time and intended them to be used a leisurely read.

Both had a handful of characters , almost too many, to keep straight in my opinion. I think it just depends on how much you're hoping to get out of the book. Not sure if that helps at all. (less)

I found this book when I was away from holiday, I was curious of the title and the story (I move to the black country 😅 a couple of years ego and I found it just interesting) I don't read it yet and only now I found out its a series of books. My question is I can read them not in sequence or it's better if I start from the first one??

The author shows absolutely no signs of knowing anything about the Black Country or having done any research whatsoever and thinks Wolverhampton is named after wolves that still roamed the land at the end of the 19th century! (They didn't!) Not only that, the plot is somehow simultaneously convoluted and full of holes. A major, major local character is killed off halfway through and nobody, absolutely nobody notices he is missing or asks where he is!

I would avoid this book at all costs!(less)
