ASH & BONE (Police Procedural–England-Cont) - G
Harvey, John – Standalone
William Heinemann: London,
2005- Hardcover
Detective Inspector Frank Elder is retired and living in the wilds of Cornwell when he is asked to come out of retirement
and investigate the death of a former colleague and, briefly, lover. At the same time, his ex-wife asked him to find their daughter who had been kidnapped and raped as a child and now has run away.
Usually I rave over Harvey's books, but this seemed comparatively flat to me. There was not much character
development and while the story wasn't bad, I didn't feel involved in it. I did, however, appreciate the brief appearances of Charlie Resnick, Harvey's best-known character. This was enjoyable, but not his best.
