Living in the National Park has fuelled my foolhardy venture to read the many crime books that have been set here. And there have been a few decent ones, notably the series from Martin Edwards.
This however, is not one of them. My lingering aftertaste is a very disappointing ending, but the rest isn’t much better.
The author insists on giving detailed directions as the various characters make their way around Cumbria and Lancashire, for those without a map I guess. In fact there is a lot of ‘filler’ in it.
The story is set around workers from s small business attempting the ‘Three Peaks Challenge’ for charity. The event isnt thought of highly by locals who have disrupted nights due to the traffic and Bibby certainly isn’t a fan as he clearly states, a potential clash as many of his potential readers will have undertaken it, or be keen to.
