Started and finished date - 05.10.24 to 07.11.24. My rating - Three Stars. I did enjoyed this book but I didn't love. Both the atmosphere and the writing was okay. The paced of plot was fine but the cover of book was okay and the characters was fine but needed be flash out bit more.
The journalist's personal problems are similar to those of a DS or DI, with a drinking problem, problems maintaining relationships and depression. However, the fact that the story is from the point of view of a journalist is a different angle. The crimes are memorable and sad, also realistic. The setting on Dartmoor is very well described.
