Dark is the Grave by T.G. Reid

5.0

Dark is the Grave is book 1 in the DCI Duncan Bone series by TG Reid. It is released on 1 July and is available to pre-order now. The book opens with PC Hazel Garvey having her drink spiked, being abducted and then buried alive – and that is just in the prologue. On Duncan’s previous case he was left badly injured and is still on sick leave due to the bomb blast from that time. On receiving an envelope in the mail, with a USB inside containing a very disturbing video, he is called back to work. Duncan has some shaky moments as things get on top of him and his ability is called into question. However, he is determined to see it through to the end. I really like the characters – Mullens (who provides quite a bit of humour), Walker, Harper, Baxter and the DCI Gallacher. I read the novella What Hides Beneath, which introduces the characters, when I signed up to TG Reid’s website. It was a good read too. A great read and I look forward to reading more when they are released.
