- It's not called the Dark Peak for nothing!
Having lived for several years in the Dark Peak where this thriller is set, for me Stephen Booth has skilfully captured the essence of the stark bleak beauty of this unique area. A atmospheric book that portays the Dark Peak as something of a lost world. Good plot and strong characterisations. If you've never been there, then just watch the League of Gentlemen which is filmed in the same area.

- WOW!!
How fantastic can a book get?? I haven't even finished this one yet, but I feel compelled to write a review about it.
This book is great. It is packed with atmosphere. It is gritty, suspenseful, terrifying, intriguing, and almost impossible to put down. The characters are well thought out, and incredibly well presented. The descriptions of the Derbyshire landscapes is at once, accurate, beautiful and chilling.
From page one of this book, I have been drawn into the story. I am in suspense to find out what happens in the end. Does Cooper get his man? Do the Renshaws find their daughter? What are the secrets surrounding the Oxleys? Who are the border rats, and will Diane Fry finally find peace regarding her missing sister?

- excellent
Two years ago, student Emma Renshaw disappeared while on her way home from university. Now, a new discovery in the remote countryside prompts the police to reinvestigate the case. But, Diane Fry, in charge of the investigation, finds herself with a hard task made even worse by Emma's parents, who are still expecting their daughter to be found.

They have been pestering the police and her friends ever since her disappearance, note the time of every phone-call just in case it is Emma, keep her car ready and waiting in the garage, and retain all of her Christmas presents in her bedroom - not touched since she left - upstairs.

Eventually, Diane's search leads her to the dark, isolated village of Withens, where she runs into Ben Cooper, ... Read More:
