A Long Shadow

 A Long Shadow

Chief Inspector Shadow Mystery #1

H.L. Marsay



Reviewed by Helen


Chief Inspector John Shadow works in the town he grew up in, the City of York, he knows the area and people really well, stuck in his ways he plods along and gets the job done, when a young homeless woman turns up dead in a doorway closely followed by a years old skeleton and then two more homeless people the pressure is on to get answers are they linked?

Inspector Shadow and his new young sergeant, Jimmy Chan are on the case what they uncover will surprise a lot of people questioning people from all walks of life as York is such a busy tourist town there is always a lot going on, but will they get the answers they need before more bodies are found?

I loved this one Shadow is such a layback fellow and he loves the old ways pen and paper and Jimmy is into technology, Shadow likes his meals never cooks himself and is constantly being barraged with Jimmy’s ideas. They really are a good working pair and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. This is witty and fabulous and one I highly recommend.
