Publisher Description
Introducing LONG DARK NIGHT, the latest book in the McClintock – Carter Crime Thriller series by Susan Lund.
Two teenage boys went missing from a park in King County a decade ago. While one of the boys was found days later, his body discarded in a ravine in the forest on Tiger Mountain, the other boy was never found.
Until now.
After a property developer's front end loader unearths the skeletal remains of several teenage boys from around Washington State, the missing boy's remains are identified. As a result, King County Cold Case Investigator Michael Carter looks into the cases. He suspects they are linked to several current disappearances of teenage boys who were either living on friend's sofas or on the streets. Believing he has another serial killer on his hands, Carter works with the FBI's CARD Team to try to locate the missing boy.
When Carter gets too close for comfort, he becomes the target of the serial killer's rage, leading to a showdown between the two adversaries on one long dark night…

Good
Good short read
A slow, ponderous read
I really wish I’d stopped with this book after the first 1/3.
There’s an awful lot of exposition; the author has obviously done a lot of research into different police procedural techniques, and is overly keen to share this knowledge with the reader - to the extent that it feels smug and show-off-ish
The writing is poor and repetitive, with key narrative points, back histories and characterisations repeated ad nauseum.
This gives almost every chapter the feeling of a ‘previously in this story’ vibe, when this book could have been an exciting, fast-paced crime thriller.
Awesome
Well worth the read!!!
