I look forward to reading more of the Frank Elder novels. Oct 03, Denise rated it liked it. Did I suspect the suspect? But the enjoyment derived from this book was how the evidence was found and the interaction among the characters.

Realistic work and personal situations unfold and won me over - no comic book super hero types here. I repeat words from a Charlie Resnick book review " John Harvey is a new favorite author. This was the first Frank Elder I read and th Solid 3 stars. This was the first Frank Elder I read and the only one available in my Library as an audio book. As in the other Harvey books I've read the characters are realistic and no over-the-top violence.

Other books in this series - like the Charlie Resnick series - are scattered across my Library's system so a-hunting I shall go. And in high praise these are books I would gladly read as page turners. But don't take my word for it Enjoyed the book; British police procedural. Elder, a retired policeman, has hunkered down to life in desolate Cornwall, away from his ex wife, his daughter and all reminders of his past life.

Then, Joanne, his ex, calls to ask him for help. The sister of a friend has gone missing.

She feels the police aren't taking it seriously, after all, the missing woman is an adult in her late fifties. So, against his better judgement, he goes to the city to look into things. When the woman turns up dead, th Enjoyed the book; British police procedural. When the woman turns up dead, the similarities to his first, unsolved case, worry him. He is taken on by the local police force as a consultant. He and his former colleague, Maureen Prior, work together to chase down leads, interview suspects and find a killer.

Mar 23, David rated it it was ok. Ah sure, ye know. Oct 23, Tim Laven rated it liked it. This was a strange tale of mysterious relationships in a small town and how many people could be thought of as responsible for a crime. A little disturbing and graphic in places As published in the Sunday Tasmanian June 01 Late dawns and early dusks usually herald the return of my crime spree. I saunter in to every book shop on my way to and from work and look desolately at the dark covers. McDermid, Connelly, Mankell, Nesbo.

So naturally when I came across an author I hadn't read before I made short work of it. John Harvey has a few series on the go.

DARKNESS AND LIGHT - John Legend | Songs, Reviews, Credits | AllMusic

C As published in the Sunday Tasmanian June 01 Jump straight into the third Frank Elder book, a retired detective who lives a semi hermit like existence, brought back to the city as a favour to his ex-wife. She hasn't been home in a while. Solutions come about from leg work and people, not just forensics and microscopic break throughs. No crime fiction is for the faint hearted. It makes for a perfect fireside read. Jan 16, Kathleen Hagen added it Shelves: Frank has retired from a British police force and has retired to a cottage in Cornwall.

His estranged wife calls him and asks him to return to his previous locale, where she still lives, to help a friend of hers. So Frank reluctantly returns and starts trying to track down Claire. Then she turns up dead in her own bed, but arranged very meticulously and fully dressed. Frank is reminded of his first criminal case, which remained unsolved, in which the victim was laid out in just the same way, and he becomes convinced that it is the same person, even though there are eight years between the two murders.

I will definitely find more of this series. No one was every arrested. Now, eight years later, Elders ex-wife asks him to help her friend whose sister has gone missing. When the sister is found in a manner reminiscent of the cold case, Elder believes the same killer is back.

His characters are real, interesting and well developed. Beside being an excellent police procedural, it is an excellent follow-the-clues-to-find-the-killer mystery and those seem rare these days. Those points not withstanding, I always enjoy, and highly recommend, Harvey. Jul 20, Ian Mapp rated it it was ok. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Last in the series and in a way, I am quite glad. To my money - he is not a patch on Rankin and Robinson and has a quite nasty misogynistic streak that I am surprised no other reviewers seem to have picked up.

This story involves Elder being asked to look into the disappearance of a missing friend of his ex wives. While rooking around in her life he finds dating agency requests and a vibrator and the subtext is almost that she is a whore who deserved to die! The book jumps backwards and forwards in Last in the series and in a way, I am quite glad. The book jumps backwards and forwards in time - showing a disturbed young boy growing up the killer and then you have to work through the variety of red herring to find out who the killer is. There is a tie in to the unsolved first murder that he looked into and now, looking back I cannot even remember if it was the same killer.

Suicide is the "and i woke up and it was a dream" wrap up and the series is left open for another book, as it appears that Elder is getting back with his ex mrs. Apr 27, Kirsti rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Good, solid British detective story. All of the characters who appear throughout this series seemed well-developed and realistic to me, but I thought some of the characters introduced just for this book were one-dimensional.
