In the setting and characters, it had the feel of 1930-1950 set book, but the writing and story style was much more like noir. There was little mystery or puzzle it was more about tension and sudden violence. The mood was bleak and the writing style spare. It was interesting and a bit jarring juxtaposition. As a side note I was extremely taken with the cover painting and eventually identified it a view of the village of Stainworth in West Yorkshire. It looks similar today.

"He could feel it in the blackness, a difference in atmosphere, a sense of evil, of things hidden." Amy Snowden, in middle age, has long since settled into a lonely life in the Yorkshire town of Gunnarshaw, until - to her neighbours' surprise - she suddenly marries a much younger man. Months later, Amy is found dead - apparently by her own hand - and her husband, Wright, has disappeared. Sergeant Caleb Cluff - silent, watchful, a man at home in the bleak moorland landscape of Gunnarshaw - must find the truth about the couple's unlikely marriage, and solve the riddle of Amy's death. This novel, originally published in 1960, is the first in the series of Sergeant Cluff detective stories that were televised in the 1960s but have long been neglected. This new edition is published in the centenary year of the author's birth. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The introductory essay by Martin Edwards is informative and a good read too. It sets the stage for the story as well as providing a brief biography of the author.
