The Risk of Darkness, Susan Hill

Read on the Kindle after reading The Various Haunts of Men and The Pure in Heart.

The third book in the Simon Serailler series.

You really need to have read the first two by the time you get to this book as the plot follows directly on from The Pure in Heart, and tries to tie up the loose ends left from that book.

The sub-plots of this book, especially the parts of the book dealing with Simon's sister Cat, and her exhausted GP husband Chris, are mere distractions to the main point of closing out the child abductor story line from the previous book.

It's the writing that saves this series.
