Additionally, the novel boasts realistic dialogue peppered with colloquialisms and Scottish settings, allowing McDermid to write using what she knows best while delivering a superior product. This was spoilt, for me, by the unbelievable sink into murderous behaviour by Adam and the unrealistic death of Mike’s friend by Cat. Phil as her offsider is perfect, less emotional, equally as determined, they are a really good team.

There were some interesting settings including the Wemyss Mcsermid in Fife that actually exist and have famous Pictish wall drawings. So why didn’t I just chuck it and move on to something else?

There’s also the baffling disappearance of Mick’s mate Andy about the same time. Using several of the same characters of The Distant EchoA Darker Domain dredges up the ghosts of both the miner’s strike and a bungled abduction from the same time.

This is a perfect combination of plot, mcdermd, setting and lovely writing.

The journalist in search of a story.

We know precisely what is meant. The result is that the action, the investigation, doesn’t pause for breath. I remember the time and the history of the miners strike. DI Karen Pirie is a tremendous character, with hopefullyreal possibilities for an ongoing series.

Few British over the age of thirty will have forgotten. Worth a listen or read for those who like the Karen Pirrie series. And once you do get to the solution, it’s a bit disappointing and not as rewarding as I’d hoped it would be. My favorite thing about her books is that the stories are so intertwined there are several outcome possibilities and you never know which one she will choose usually it’s one I hadn’t even considered.

He is completely bumbling and Karen literally runs rings around him.

I just love Karen and can’t wait to start the next in her brilliant career, which I am just about to rectify now. By the time I got to the end of the book I couldn’t stop reading it. I’ll definitely read more Val McDermid mysteries.

To say much more would give away spoilers. For anyone into crime with a Scots setting Ian Rankin has to be the first port of call but do spare a glance also for newcomer Grace Monroe whose protagonist Brodie McLennan is absolutely certainly no relation to the Broderick Maclennan Grant of this tale Grant also asks Bel to secretly gather more information in Tuscany Alan Why should he!

Unfortunately Karen’s boss thinks that new evidence in vql case of the dead heiress and missing son and grandson of a wealthy and powerful man is more important.

This started out promising. No one forced me to keep reading. Part of my disappointment in this was that I was reading it for a purpose–making a list of Celtic Noir mysteries.

Chalk “A Dark Domain” up as a miss. The novel jumps back and forth between the time of the key events of both cases darkrr the miners’ strike and the current day. She discovers a large blood stain, and a silkscreened poster that is familiar. Kudos, Madam McDermid for an exciting novel.
