The English summer may be cold, but the plot in this engrossing mystery is red hot. Richly drawn characters are driven by their emotions, their histories, and their hunger for what they seek in that dangerous swamp where justice, revenge, and ethics blur into one. Black and white be damned, there are only shades of grey here, with moral flaws everywhere, be it cop, criminal, or those innocents sucked into the dramas. As one would hope for from Ellson, with his long law enforcement background, the police realism is second to none. This is a crime novel that oozes humanity, atmosphere, and storytelling at its very best.7 s Oliver DowsonAuthor 5 books189

I love police thrillers, but I couldn’t get into this one; I found the characters universally unpleasant and the slang grated on me. I was anticipating some of the action taking place in Nepal, but it seemst that all happened in Book 1. From reading other , I expect that if I’d read the previous books in the series I would have enjoyed it more and given more stars. Not having read them, it took a long time to understand the relationship and history between the characters, both essential to following the plot.1 Jamie Bowen913 27
