This mystery series is so fascinating: the main character, Phillip Dryden, is a reporter in Ely. His wife has been in a coma for the whole series, though she is now awake, sort of.
Anyway, this story revolves around a cold snap, people freezing to death as a result of the weather (or not), years of abuse in a local Catholic orphanage, and Dryden's childhood trip to the seaside. Yes, they are all related. Oddly. The cold business, after this winter, kind of made me roll my eyes. Below zero (celsius) is hardly worth talking about here; I was wearing sandals all weekend in spite of temperatures in the single digits (celsius).
It's hard not to like Dryden. Except there are times when he is really annoying, in a perfectly realistic way. Can't wait for the next one. I hope Jim Kelly is on my author list....
