Review: Winterman

Winterman by Alex Walters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The story is set in 1940’s Britain, after the war had ended but food, fuel shortages and rationing are still part of everyday life.

The small village of Framley is covered by snow, when a drunken ex-clergyman comes across the body of a child...left for someone to find...

DI Waterman is posted to the small local Police Station and along with his colleagues, Horton, Marsh and the ever eager PC Brain they begin the investigation, only for more bodies to be found and even murder.

The deep snow hampers them considerably but they carry on in this twisty thriller, with murder, blackmail and secrets. Alex Walter’s wonderfully descriptive and moody writing brings chills that having nothing to do with the weather.....written in the vein of classic Josephine Tey, there are marvellous characters and I have to say the indomitable Mrs Sherringham is a favourite...

I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns and the ingenious reveal....I never saw it coming. I hope to read more of DI Winterman and Mary.

Thank you to Bloodhound Books (and Netgalley)for the opportunity to participate in this blog tour and for the promotional materials and a free copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.
