I am not usually drawn to crime fiction but, having been greatly entertained by the author at a library event, I thought I would try his debut novel. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Set in a rather bleak Hull in winter DS Aector McAvoy is a thoroughly decent detective, getting on with solving murders. Intriguingly victims all prove to be sole survivors of earlier tragedies. The tightly woven plot is filled with well-drawn characters and descriptive scenes.
