catmum 's review for:
The Dark Winter
by David Mark
DS Aector McAvoy #1
Hull, UK, present day
First line: The old man looked up, and for a moment it feels as though he is staring
through the wrong end of a telescope. The reporter is forty years away.
The sole survivor of a tragedy at sea forty years ago is struck down as he travels to
the original scene for a memorial. DS McAvoy investigates whether it is a case of
perverse coincidence...or delayed "justice".
There are a few wobbly plot points, mostly having to do with jerky segues, that keep
this from being an A read. But the writing and the characterizations are top notch and
I can't wait for the second entry in this new series.
