Ackroyd And Thackeray Book 10 I registered a book at BookCrossing.com! http://www.BookCrossing.com/journal/13266555 Well, another British writer to investigate further! The novel takes place in a small village in Yorkshire, England. DCI Michael Thackery is called in when one of the family owners of the Earnshaw Mill is found dead. Meanwhile, Thackery's SO, reporter Laura Ackroyd, is investigating the racial unrest in the area, unrest that also appears to center on the mill. Coming from different directions, the two investigate an overlapping story. At times the discoveries seem coincidental, too coincidental, given that there is no deliberate coordination between the two. I enjoyed the writing, the sense of place, the characters, and look forward to reading more about them. I am especially fond of books about remote areas with low populations, like this area. My local library's crime section has tons of books by Patricia Hall and I keep passing them up. Last time I was in there I picked one up and it sounded ok, so I brought it home. This is from the middle of a long running series set in "Bradfield", a poorish city a short hop from Leeds - that's a very thinly disguised Bradford then. It's a male cop and girl reporter setup but so are some of my favourite crime series.
In the beginning I wasn't very into it, but it grew on me. There are some good in depth characters, some rather stereotyped ones, but no really cardboardy ones. The plot worked out ok - lots of race relations, worries about terrorism and failing textile mills - it rang pretty true to me.
A quick read, nothing very special but I'll probably pick another in the series up another time. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

ll?'s characters have the smack-in-the-face quality of real life, are well-developed and, most importantly, co-exist with some very fine plotting indeed? -- Crime Time Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
