When reading crime fiction, I gravitate toward cosy mysteries so it was not what I was used to. It is much darker. So, when I began reading his most recent novel, Sorrow Lake, I steeled myself, expecting it to be similar. But, it isn’t. I found myself immersed in an interesting police procedural that doesn’t contain too much gore. Sorrow Lake is the first book in McCann’s new March and Walker detective series and, as I’ve mentioned, it has a different tone from his Donaghue and Stainer crime series. I have to admit that it fits better with my comfort zone - a gripping plot that never loses its tension and picks up pace as it neared the climax but not too much graphic violence. There’s nothing in it that would make me squirm and screw my eyes shut but it still has nail biting moments.Not surprisingly for a crime novel, the story centres on the hunt for a killer and the law enforcement officers involved in the case, particularly Detective Inspector Ellie Walker, an experienced detective, and Detective Constable Kevin Walker, who is new to homicide investigations. I thought there was a bit too much explanation of some of the investigation procedures and techniques as the story opened but, once those details had been explained, the story moved along at a good pace and I got involved in trying to put together the clues to find the killer. I also enjoyed the subplot revolving around the jealousies and power struggles within the police department, particularly when one officer was jockeying to be chosen to lead the investigation. As I’ve said, the story is about the hunt for a killer and the people involved in it. I found the interaction and sometimes tension between the characters as interesting and absorbing as the actual case. I liked the main characters, Ellie March and Kevin Walker, and I think this was partly because the author gives readers glimpses of their private lives in between the scenes involving the investigation. This adds depth to the story as readers develop a better understanding of characters’ actions and decisions. In tightly written scenes, the author also produces well drawn secondary characters. Especially memorable characters are the underhanded Detective Constable Dart, Ellie March’s musician neighbour, Ballantyne Ridge, and the elderly, nosy woman who lives opposite the victim’s widow. The story is set in a small town and the surrounding countryside in Northern Ontario, Canada during winter. The landscape and the weather are both important to the story and the author vividly paints a scene that the reader can step into. He also has a good grasp of the internal structure of the regional police force and the details he includes about it add authenticity to the story. It isn’t a location that is frequently used as the setting for novels and it is more intriguing as a result. I found Sorrow Lake an entertaining and engrossing read. I liked the characters and was grabbed by the plot. I will happily read other books in this series as I think the characters are worth re-visiting. So I have no hesitation wholeheartedly recommending this book. Note: I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Ireland By Kathleen Kelly "His breath visible in the early morning air, Detective Constable Kevin Walker made his was down the hill and across the farmer's field toward the body. There was a crust on the snow from freezing rai that had fallen tow days ago, and hos books punched crisp holes as he followed the footprints of the old man who'd spotted something in the middle of his field just after dawn and had come down to investigate."Thus starts Sorrow Lake by Michael McCann. Sorrow Lake has a reputation, there have been other deaths on this lake. In the sixties, there was a boating accident that killed a man and some kids. There was a murder-suicide where a man killed his wife, his five children and himself. Looters killed a couple, a man and wife. Thus giving the lake it's name, Sorrow Lake.An elderly man sees something out of his kitchen window and goes to investigate and sees a body lying in his field. The man is William (Bill) Hansen, and he was shot execution-style.Detective Inspector Ellie March of the Ontario Provincial Police has been called to help wih the investigation in the man's death. Ellie has a complicated life, her children won't speak to her because she has always been involved in her work, so the children live with their father. We learn a bit about Ellie, but it is her skills as an investigator and not her private life that is important to the book. We do learn a little about her private life, and I feel that as the series goes along the reader will learn more about Ellie.Young and talented Detective Constable Kevin Walker feels that working with Ellie March is an honor as she does have a reputation as being an exceptional investigator. He is inexperienced but makes up for his lack of experience with his enthusiasm. I like his character; he is a likeable and honest cop. He is a bit naive, though, in that he shares and seeks answers from his mentor, Chuck Waddell, who was in the position that Kevin now holds, retired and now running a security firm. Can Chuck be trusted?There are also a lot of other characters that play pivotal roles in the investigation. Some that will surprise you. Just who was Bill Hansen, what was he involved in and why was he murdered. Clues abound, and investigators are stymied trying to put these clues together as with each suspect is interviewed, they end up at a standstill in the investigation. It takes another detective to start putting the clues together, except he is hoping to advance his career if he is successful with his investigation.I have read a few other books in Mr.McCann's Donaghue and Stainer Crime series and thoroughly enjoyed them. I think this new series, March and Walker Crime series is off to a great start in this first book. Well written, understandable and suspenseful. You can't go wrong reading this and Mr.McCann's other novels.I received a copy of the book for review purposes only.

Good Start By Jackie Roche I would like to thank NetGalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest and open review.This is the first book I've read by this author but it certainly won't be the last.The story is set in a small town called Sorrow Lake in Ontario, Canada and focuses on the police investigation of a murder.I loved the description of the area. I could close my eyes and picture myself there.I was slightly confused at first due to the number of characters that were brought into the story. However, once I'd worked out who was who, I was engrossed in the novel.The main characters, Ellie and Kevin, were extremely well drawn. We were given glimpses of their private as well as their public lives.I read a lot of thrillers and it was interesting to compare the differences between the Canadian and the British procedures.I enjoyed this book so much that I've ordered book 2 in the series.Highly recommended.
