Intriguing is most definitely the operative word, with the creepy setting adding a kind of tension to the chapter, a foreboding or sense of apprehension that only grows the more we read, one which we soon learn is highly justified.

This piques their interest and when they open it up they, sure enough, find Tam sprawled below the slab of granite used to cover it. As much as I dislike unnecessary prologues and although it’s not titled as such the first chapter is written from the perspective of the missing man right before he vanished and it really worked as we get to meet him first-hand in a way that we wouldn’t otherwise.
It's fast-paced, stylishly woven and thoroughly atmospheric with some beautiful scenic descriptions and never a dull moment. I was hooked by the opening scenario of the old man in a strange grave and drawn in further by the reason for his murder. Angus king always does a fantastic job and I actively look for books he narrates, which is how I found this!With book three due out next month, I thought it was about time I caught up and have this and book two in my reading list this month. My wife’s best friend, Gail and her huge family had hired out this beautiful, massive house for a week and they had travelled from all over the world to be together for Christmas. Tam Hardie stood, a mix of apprehension and excitement beginning to take hold as he saw the six words that his grandfather had assured him would be there.

Been off work for 3 months after surgery, surrounded by dozens of books that I pick up and put down, nothing gripped me. Summary: The first in a new series left me wondering to start with but the book quickly grabbed me and wouldn't let go.
The author was previously a Metropolitan police detective investigating serious crimes in addition to serving in the military police so I would recommend this to those connoisseurs of police tactical methods. hectare (315-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north-east of Icklingham in Suffolk. Neil Lancaster will insist on spelling things out for us which he’s already implied, and peppering this laboured prose with stale usage and cliché.

For the majority of this story, he’s paired with Janie Calder, a university graduate on the fast-track promotion career path, who is seen as a bit of an oddball for her academic interests and achievements as well as her avant garde musical tastes.
