Heather reviewed Gently by the Shore by Alan Hunter
Review of 'Gently by the Shore' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I'm really enjoying the George Gently series. I liked the TV series and was intrigued that that the original books were set so differently and without Bacchus, so read the first one out of curiosity. The character of Gently is recognisable but nothing else, but the book was still a good read. I particularly enjoyed Alan Hunter's writing. It can be very poignant in a way that reminded me of Philip Larkin at times.
