I've always wanted to visit the historic English town of York and after reading this excellent debut of Chief Inspector Shadow my desire to go has increased ten fold.

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

This one was a tiny bit dull in places - lots of Viking history and interchangeable white middle class male suspects. I did enjoy the dog walking though.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this small series of cozies set in York. Not only are the plots credible but the characters are being fleshed out well. The main characters are developing well, and the human interest side of each story is coming along too.

If you are going to pick them up, do take the trouble to start from the beginning. The Kindle versions won't cost you much. Recommended.

I enjoyed this and read it quickly. 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.
