The Lifers’ Club by Francis Pryor



This is a pretty solid whodunit in which Francis Pryor does bring the essence of the Fens to the page.

However it often felt in need of a stronger editorial hand, description of details irrelevant to the plot were far too common. I don’t know if this is related to the crowdfunding model of the publishing house but I feel you could probably have cut the text by at least a third without significantly impairing the narrative.
