Summary: With the publication of the New York Times Notable
Book River of Darkness, Rennie Airth established himself as a
master of suspense. The Blood-Dimmed Tide, set in 1932, marks the
return of the beloved Inspector John Madden, whose discovery of a young girl's
mutilated corpse near his home in rural England brings him out of retirement
despite his wife's misgivings. Soon he finds himself chasing a killer whose
horrific crime could have implications far afield in a Europe threatened by the
rise of Hitler. A riveting, atmospheric, multilayered mystery, this intense and
intelligent tale more than delivers on the promise of Rennie Airth's first
thriller.
Angie’s comments: Thoroughly interesting characters and plot. While the
mystery is solved partly through the novel, there is still the issue of
stopping the killer. The characterization is well done and the setting plays a
large role in the mystery.
Recommended for mystery readers.
