Peak District : A Crime Novel Book

Stephen Booth writes such an engrossing and character-driven story that sometimes I forget it is a police procedural at all. This is not to say that the author veers from his plot's focus; it is just that he gives the reader such a complete picture that I find myself becoming as caught-up in the understanding of all that, of seeing these people and places so clearly that the crime and its solution is just the vehicle for the real story.
