I enjoyed A Darker Domain by Val McDermid which is set in both the mid-1980s when Thatcher was "at war" with the miners and the present day. DI Karen Pirie is asked to find a missing person, Mick Prentice, who disappeared in 1984 but has only now been reported missing because it was believed he'd abandoned his family during the strike and was scabbing. Also new evidence emerges, from a young journalist, Bel, about the murder of the daughter of a wealthy local identity and the abduction of his grandson that occurred around the same time as Mick's disappearance. Is there a connection, or is it coincidence? That is what DI Pirie must find out. A good gripping tale which almost keeps you guessing. 4/5Sunday, June 3, 2012
