requiem mass I thought REQUIEM MASS was long drawned out with a weird plot that was hard to follow it gave me a headache and i tended to skip loads which i hate.
Gritty and realistic murders set in suburban Britain I can't believe how little known this author seems to be...but now I've discovered her I'll definitely be reading the next books featuring DCI Andrew Fenwick.
This particular story begins with a crime so the reader knows what happened in the past...but not 'whodunit' until a little later. The majority of the book is set in the present and is realistic, well thought out and engaging.
If I had to liken the style of writing to any other author it would be Mark Billingham, not because of any of the... more info
Gripping opening - had to find out why! Great first novel If detective fiction is your bag - this is a must - strong plot develops from a gripping opening few pages. The detective - DCI Fenwick - tries to balance sleuthing with his single parent commitments to his two young children (good twist here - read it to find out what). Lots of scope for further character development here. Watch out for future installments!
Excellent Read. I could not put it down! Truly excellent read and a marvelous book from Corley. Her detective is a real human being, and the many facets of his life are handled expertly, interweaving with the main plot. The plot is gripping, thoroughly researched and unfolds well for the reader. I have already bought her second book and can't wait to begin it!
