I really enjoyed this book. It uses effectively the gritty setting of an industrial English town to portray a range of characters who are not what they seem. I enjoyed the fact that the two main detectives Steve Harley and Miles Davis were not stereotypical, and as the novel progressed, displayed unexpected facets of characters.My interest was also sustained by the many twists and turns the  plot takes. I am usually fairly successful at guessing the murderer in a detective novel, but this one kept be guessing right until the end. I really recommend this book for anyone who enjoys British detective novels.
