I particularly liked the way Shadow never seems to set foot in the police station, and the only way his poor sergeant Jimmy can keep track of him is by using a 'Find my Phone' app. The plot made sense, although I don't really see why that particular brand of whisky had to be used. I haven't been to York for years - it made me want to go back. A new contemporary police procedural series set in York, a new pair of detectives to get to know. I enjoyed this first outing. The plot came together well towards the end, the characters were well drawn and the scenario believable. Detective Chief Inspector Shadow is a bit curmudgeonly, his offsider Jimmy Chang a "modern boy", technologically-savvy, and keen to make an impression. There are two pathologists who appear frequently and contrast well with each other. I have been to York a few times and enjoyed walking around the city. This was a relatively easy read, and really a novella in length, and I will be reading #2 in the series. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Old sins cast long shadows... When the bodies of a young, homeless girl and a girl who disappeared thirty years ago are found on the same day, residents in the historic city of York are aghast. It seems unlikely the two cases are related, and yet some of the same players knew both victims. As Detective Chief Inspector John Shadow and his eager new partner, Sergeant Jimmy Chang, dive into their investigation, they uncover a complicated web of pop stars, pub owners, shopkeepers, and old school friends who each have something to hide. John Shadow is a man of contradictions. A solitary figure who shuns company, but is a keen observer of all he meets. A lover of good food, but whose fridge is almost always empty. He prefers to work alone and is perpetually trying to dodge his partner, who's full of energy, modern ideas, and theories. But as the two men gradually learn to work together to solve the case, it's clear that the past is never as far away as you think. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The author brings the city to life through the eyes of her lead detective and weaves the plot through the alleys and side turnings of the city centre.
It's always great to see a detective who has their own problems to deal with on top of the case at hand. The supporting characters work well with the CI and I particularly like the balance provided from the two different coroners.
A fantastic opening novel in the series (
