Untitled Stephen Booth 1 by Stephen Booth
Well written, yet a bit tedious. Reckon I’m not much into family dramas. Quit at the halfway mark.
This series is deeply focused on the area (the Peak district), its history, its geography, its people. The mysteries are well thought out, and effective at keeping you guessing. And such interesting characters.
