Dancing with the Virgins : A Constable Ben Cooper Novel by Stephen Booth
Reader Reviews 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Top notch, December 24, 2002 Reviewer: Glenn McLeod from London, Ontario Excellent mystery set in the north of England. Good sense of place, main characters well developed. plot complex and moves at a good pace. Detective Ben Cooper, a local copper with a good feel fo the locals is not led off on tangents like the others, particularly Detective Diane Fry, who has recently arrived from the south. The murder of Jenny Weston and attack on Maggie Crew appear to be related but it is only towards the end that the link between them becomes clear but is muddied considerably by the apparent link with a dog fighting business. The resolution is slow coming but very satisfactory. The on-again-off-again relationship between Ben and Diane appears to be warming up but both have depths and secretes not yet available to the other. Reminds me somewhat of the early books by Peter Robinson. rating 4.5/5
