Well Constructed

It Never Rains by Tony Bassett is an engrossing contemporary crime thriller that I just could not put down. It is part of the Detectives Roy & Roscoe series which I love.

The setting is in the Midlands, around Warwick and Stratford. As a Black Country girl, I was familiar with some of the places and was thrilled to see that Bewdley, where I live, was mentioned – it doesn’t normally crop up in novels. I am very familiar with the location of Worcester and knew exactly where the author was talking about.

Tony Bassett has constructed a marvellous plotline. It was well thought out and executed. I was totally gripped from the start.

As the book starts, the reader is on the ‘side’ of the pipe and slippers brigade.
