Valley of Lies by Michael Campling
3.0
Dan Corrigan is living in the quite village of Embervale on edge of Dartmoor after being fired from a job in the City. He is suppose to be doing up his sister's cottage in return for a place to live but when a local is found dead on a slag heap and his neighbour, Alan, is the prime suspect, they set out to prove Alan is innocent by find the person responsible.
This started out fine but lost it's way a bit at the end. It was as if it was trying to avoid a climatic end and to reinforce the fact that Dan was not the police. So the narrative went a bit awry. Jumps in logic weren't so logical. We don't get a real clear picture of who Dan is, just that he was fired from a job in the City. But not exactly what he did for a living or why he was fired.
Enjoyable enough, but a few holes in the narrative.
