Dark Side is the second in the Exmoor trilogy by the excellent Belinda Bauer and having inadvertently read the third before this one, I had an idea of how some storylines would end. I wasn't expecting how it happened!!!
The premise is simple. Elderly residents of a village are dying. Village Bobby helps big city cops to find out why. It's a whodunit as cops hunt killer and very entertaining it is as well. You care about certain characters and dislike certain others. You forge opinions about who the bad guy is and why and the come the last few "days" when it all comes together and wow!!
Brilliant read as always with Belinda Bauer and one that I'll not forget in a while.
