I loved this book, not as developed as his Washington Poe series but well worth the read. Given that I am waiting for the next Washington Poe book, June 2025 can't come quickly enough, I'm looking at reading all of Cravens books as I'm well and truly hooked. This book has Avison Fluke recovering from his cancer and becoming fitter than in the last book. His friendship with Towler and their time in the military is explored going back to Ireland and the mysterious Choreographer.  The book opens with a dismembered body being found on a Cumbrian golf course, and just as his investigation gets started, he is taken off it by a specialist team from London. A hippy woman finds his cabin seeking his help to find her husband,  Flukes army best friend Bish. It's a thrilling, dark, compelling, police crime investigation, with unexpected twists and turns, which makes this a super read. Brilliant, fantastic stuff.
