Redbelly Crossing, Candice Fox

Inter-generational trauma is explored with explosive impact in Candice Fox's latest novel REDBELLY CROSSING. When a young woman is found stabbed to death in an upstairs bedroom of a busy pub in the small country town of Redbelly Crossing, it brings together two brothers Russell and Evan Powder. Both cops, Evan is more local to the scene, lower ranked, with a professional past in which he's made a grave error.

Back in the early 2000s, when I started blogging for the first time, one of the bloggers I regularly read was the crime writer, John Baker.

Like me at the time, John lived in York. He wrote a series of detective novels set in the city featuring his accidential private detective, Sam Turner.

I revisited the series last year, prompting a bit of nostalgia for times, people, and places past.
