The Darkness and the Deep
Detective: DI Marjorie Fleming
Time: Recent Past (About 2004)
Setting: Galloway
Genre: Scots Noir
This is the second of Templeon's novels involving Marjorie Fleming and is a stronger book. The nub of the crime is the wrecking of an inshore lifeboat lured onto the rocks with the death of its three erson crew.Three victims but who was the intended target or was it the person who should have been on the vessel? With that at the core there is plenty of opportunity for false leads before the final denoument.
The underlying story arc tracks Templeton's concerns about her teenage daughter and the possible strat of her father's dementia as the novel closes.
