Resenhas

John Harvey has certainly caught my attention. In this entry, Charlie Resnick is charged with stopping a string of increasingly violent but very well-planned bank robberies. At the same time, we see a young man try to get into the same line of criminal endeavor, becoming increasingly dangerous himself. Charlie is thrown back to similar cases ten years before, and the circumstances of his life at that time. The change of timeline is pretty well handled, as is Charlie's personal life.

An up and coming surgeon is attacked and badly injured leaving his hospital, and Resnick's team is pressed hard to find the attacker. But, of course, there are other attacks, badly injuring others connected in some way to the hospital. What is the common thread? And, at the same time, someone is raping young women in their homes. Investigating both puts a strain on the team.

And we finally meet Resnick's ex-wife, not in a pretty way.

Darkness, Darkness is the 12th and final DI Charlie Resnick novel. We find Charlie is now retired but still working as a civilian investigator, or as he puts it, a paper pusher when a body is found under a slab of concrete. This body is that of Jenny Hardwick who disappeared in 1984 during the British Miner’s Strike. Charlie is asked to assist his friend DI Catherine Njoroge in the investigation.

The author weaves both the past and present together as Charlie comes to terms with the inevitability of his police work ending. The details surrounding the death of Jenny are vivid as she was a militant union activist, a mother of three and the wife of Barry, a scab. For years she had been dismissed as a runaway wife, despised instead of being mourned. Now it is up to Charlie and Catherine to try and find out what happened.

While this was another well written and interesting story, I was sad that it is the final Charlie Resnick book. I have been reading this series for years and I will miss these excellent police procedurals.

Well, Harvey has hit his stride. I guess introductory books, complete with egg stains on ties, can be a little ponderous, but this second foray was excellent. It kept me up until midnight! Not my usual thing these days. Burglaries, cocaine, teenagers off the skids, patterns .
