The Pure in Heart, Susan Hill

Read on the Kindle, purchased as a bundle with The Various Haunts of Men.

This is the second of the Simon Serailler novels, and he is a properly established character now, along with his family, his parents, sister and brother-in-law and their children.

In this book, Simon is on the trail of a child abductor. Not to give the plot away, the murderer defies all the expectations of the several police forces out to catch them.

It's a great story, with well drawn characters, but ultimately unsatisfying as it's clearly the middle book of what's meant to be a trilogy, and many loose ends are left.
