Title: A Thinking Person's Mystery
Review: This is my first outing with Val McDermid. I am not usually a fan of English mysteries, finding them a little too slow for my tastes. The story begins in 1963 in a small village. A 13 year old girl disappears and the police, led by young detective George Bennett, are called in. George, assisted by his assistant, Tommy Clough, is immediately drawn in by the case and by the village of Scardale, a world unto it's own. As the investigation continues, an arrest is made for the murder of the missing girl, presumed dead.The story picks up 35 years later, when the retired George Bennett agrees to sit down with an author to write a book about the case. On the eve of the novel going to press, George contacts the author to insist that the book not go to press, citing new evidence. What ensues is a fascinating end to an intricate novel.
