Why read it?
1 author picked Dark Game as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The first in Lynch’s long-running DI Kelly Porter series, this book introduces a strongly-written female protagonist, investigating a well-crafted mystery.
This is ideal for readers who want to be transported to a beautiful location (Cumbria and the Lake District). Over the course of the series the characters all grow and develop in interesting ways. I originally started the series three books in and was able to pick up the ongoing storylines with ease, before going back and reading from the beginning.
From a procedural perspective, the books are well-researched and the balance between detail and story-telling is spot-on.
From Paul's list on British Bobbies currently on the beat.
