Forgotten Lives is the second of the Whitby’s Forgotten Victims series, and I’ve seen enough now to think I’ll probably be on board for any additions – it’s a good read.
In this volume, a body is found in the walls of a pub that’s about to be torn down, and DCI Frank Black and DI Gerry Carver are called in to investigate the decades-old murder.
I continue to enjoy the relationship growing between these two – it’s so nice to see respect for really great police work on the page. They’re so different, but help to bring out the best in one another.
We’re getting to know the rest of Frank’s team a little bit better now too, though I think that will come together more over additional books.
The crime was interesting and intriguing, but also very sad by the end.
A solid police/crime book.
