sandraleivesley 's review for:
The Curator
by M.W. Craven
It's been a whole year since I read Black Summer. Oh how I've missed Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw! But they're back with a bang in this latest book in the series. I read The Puppet Show and didn't think Mike Craven could better that, but Black Summer was amazing, but this book is the best in the series …. so far!
I loved the Christmas time setting for this one (even though I read it in May) The plot is complex and draws you in straight away. Some of the technical stuff just went over my head and I know just how Poe feels when Tilly is explaining complex stuff to him! Nevertheless it's obvious Mr Craven has researched the book well. The story moves quickly and the conclusion had me biting my nails and holding my breath. But although the book is tense there is, as in previous books, plenty of black humour running through.
As always the landscape of Cumbria plays a huge part in the story, and I loved the fact that this book is partly set on a remote island off the Cumbrian coast.
Poe and Tilly are my favourite crime fighting duo ever! Their friendship goes from strength to strength and their banter is just hilarious.
This is THE must read book of 2020. Can't wait for the next installment!
