A review by emckeon1002
Season of Darkness by Maureen Jennings

4.0

This is a good old-fashioned police procedural in a rural English town, that moves at the pace of a good old-fashioned police procedural. What makes it stand out is that England has just moved past Dunkirk, and is on the verge of real war with Germany. We have shell-shocked soldiers returned to their homes as damaged goods. We have Land Army volunteers, and a German national internment camp. We also have murder, cross-class lust and more murder. Jennings knows how to tell a story, and to keep the mystery working until the bitter, and it is bitter, end.
