I am not usually one for
this genre, but I’m glad I read “Prayer for the
Dead.” James Oswald is an author who evidently knows
his audience, knows his characters and is able to weave a
strong mystery that will captivate new readers and draw us
into his existing world of stories.
This
is a police procedural that is creepy and evocative. Inspector
McLean harbors his own secrets and when he decides to search
for a missing journalist, at the behest of journalist Jo Dalgleish,
he unearths more than he could have expected.
I’m
not sure how much to share as I don’t want to give too
much away, so I’ll just give my recommendation: if you
aren’t afraid to be a little afraid, can enjoy a step
or two into a different realm, please give yourself a chance
to read this very well written book, which is the fifth in
the Inspector McLean Series.
