On a freezing November night, 14-year-old Arwel Thomas, turns up dead in a railway tunnel outside Bangor, an apparent victim of sexual abuse and a runaway from the local children's home. DCI Michael... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The true story of molestation in a Welsh children's home is touched on in Ian McEwen's "Amsterdam." Very dark and gloomy but well-written. You won't find it easy to put down but you might find it depressing. Gays might be offended by the implied inkage of pedophilia and homosexuality.
A MYSTERY IN WALES
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I have read and enjoyed mrs Taylor's second book. It was good to read more about the main characters, the policemen with out a clue, and the town's people who are naturally reticent and believe it is their duty to keep the police in the dark. I will watch for more episodes to come, as I hope she does not stop now. I especially love the descriptions of the Welsh country and city life.
