Review

'Loved it' -- Val McDermid on THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP 'An unalloyed pleasure - an intelligent, character-driven crime novel.' -- Andrew Taylor on COLD IN THE EARTH 'Skilfully plotted and well-paced ... This book is a delight, from its leisurely start to the moving and unexpected finish.' -- Guardian on THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP 'Interesting, atmospheric and - I predict - televisual' -- Literary Review on THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP '[Aline Templeton] has demonstrated that, just when we thought Scotland was saturated with detectives, a strong woman can elbow her way in and find a unique niche.' -- Scotsman on COLD IN THE EARTH 'It is always a pleasure to read Aline Templeton, but THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP must surely be her best book to date. Aline's characters are so beautifully drawn ...' -- J Wallis Martin 'A compelling read.' -- Margaret Yorke on COLD IN THE EARTH Praise for Aline Templeton's Marjory Fleming series -- :

Product Description

'When you lift a stone, dark creatures, safely hidden before, panic in the light of day ...someone out there would become desperate to stop her finding the truth. She had to move fast.' The young victim had been pregnant, her body washed up on the rocks. Twenty years on the murder remains unsolved; her father is now dead, and her mother refuses to talk about what went on all those years ago. Detective Inspector Marjory Fleming is called in to reopen the case that her late father, a policeman, was unable to put to rest. As Fleming digs deeper it becomes clear that her father had struggled to keep secret some of the shameful details around the young girl's death. Can she handle the truth she will unearth, not just about her father but about herself?

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good book in a wonderful series, Jan 4 2010
By L. J. Roberts (Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First Sentence: The north-easter came tearing through the night across the Irish Sea.

DI Marjory (Big Marge) Fleming is assigned a cold case her father originally investigated. Twenty years ago, a young, pregnant woman washed up on the rocks. The girls father is now dead, the mother wont talk about it and Marge not only has to identify the killer but find out why her father violated his own procedural rules.

I so enjoy Templetons style of writing. The story develops slowly but is never boring, and thenbamyou are in the thick of it all the way to a very dramatic twist and revelation at the end.

She introduces you to each of the characters so you get to know who and what they are. While all the characters are well drawn, Marge takes center stage, and in Marge, Templeton creates a very realistic portrayal of a woman in her position trying to balance the demands of her job with being a wife, mother and daughter.

But Marge isnt on her own and the balance with the other characters, particularly her side-kick DS Tam McNee, who often quotes Robert Burns. Templetons dialogue is very well done and I love her humor.

Templeton provides a very strong sense of place. I appreciate that the books are set in Galloway, in the West of Scotland, rather than the usual Edinburgh.

This is a very good book in a wonderful series, and one I highly recommend.
