To the Dark (Main)
To the Dark (Main) | Chris Nickson
2 posts | 2 read
Winter is about to take a chilling twist... Thief-taker Simon Westow is drawn into a deadly puzzle when the melting snow reveals a dark secret in this gripping historical mystery, perfect for fans of Anne Perry and Charles Finch. Leeds, 1822. The city is in the grip of winter, but the chill deepens for thief-taker Simon Westow and his young assistant, Jane, when the body of Laurence Poole, a petty local thief, emerges from the melting snow by the river at Flay Cross Mill. A coded notebook found in Laurence's room mentions Charlie Harker, the most notorious fence in Leeds who's now running for his life, and the mysterious words: To the dark. What was Laurence hiding that caused his death? Simon's hunt for the truth pits him against some dangerous, powerful enemies who'll happily kill him in a heartbeat - if they can.

Chris Nickson is one of my favourite authors although I am not a fan of the Simon Westow mystery series of which I have now read the first three. As with the previous books, To the Dark was very laborious. All this changed in the second half as there were some well described and thrilling battles that made the book exciting. If future books in the series can be written with excitement right from the first chapter I may become a fan of Si Westow

Nickson has yet to disappoint.

“His descriptions of life in Leeds fill the senses. One hears the mills and the people conducting their business and smells the stench of the smoke and the rubbish piled high in the streets and closes.“
