bibliotechied 's review for:

The Dark Winter by David Mark
3.0

#18 a murder mystery

This is a police procedural set in Hull. I love English crime novels. This is the first of a series with DS Aector McAvoy, a Scot with a past history of corruption fighting and surviving a violent attack. He is also happily married which makes him a bit of a novelty and his wife is a traveller. It was an enjoyable read which I read very quickly. Ultimately the reason behind the crime was a bit far-fetched and I found some aspects of the home life a bit unnecessary. Interesting concept and my interest in Hull has been piqued. I am sure this will develop into a solid series.
