This is the second in a series about DCI Simon Serailler (the first was . The Various Haunts of Men)
A little boy is kidnapped as he stands with his satchel at the gate of his home, waiting for his lift to school. An ex-con finds it impossible to stay straight. A severely handicapped young woman dies in the night - has someone who loves her helped her out of this world? Once again, Susan Hill brilliantly creates a community, with detail so sharp and convincing that readers feel that these people are their neighbours. And that terror and evil are always in their midst ..."The Pure in Heart" is the second of Susan Hill's novels set in the English Cathedral town of Lafferton and featuring the enigmatic policeman, Detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrailler.
I liked it because and am not sure how this sounds... the crimes are second to the development of the characters and their effects on each other. Definitely a series to get into
