It's difficult to find mystery/murder novels these days with a real difference. Charles Stubbs had provided one here. It's a gem. The quirks include being set in a time , not so very long back, when the speed of communication by internet and the all pervasive social networks was in its infancy. The geography also is unfamiliar territory to most readers outside of North Wales . Both of these elements are as much a part of the story as the protagonists, the main one of which is Travis , a young man , beset with emotional struggles of his own, unwittingly sucked into a tightening web of confusion and danger. The pace in the novel is excellently controlled, with the various strands edging the reader along towards a well-thought ending,. A great read and strongly recommended.
