Dead Ground

Would have liked to go 4.5 stars. The most complex and multi-layered of the excellent Poe and Bradshaw series, this one is so full of misdirection and hidden depths it reached a new level of delight for me. Compulsively readable, clever and knowledgeable without being smug and condescending, it manages to baffle and enlighten in rapid succession. My favourite of the Craven books so far. Highly recommended.
