Turnstone The Faraday and Winter Series Book 1 edition by Graham Hurley Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
Eight-year-old Emma Maloney gathered the coins out of her bank, got on a bus by herself, and walked into the Kingston Crescent Police Station hoping just maybe the police could find her dad, just like they'd found her bike that time. And Detective Inspector Joe Faraday finds he is just as determined to get answers for this child who has finally given him a case worth pursuing."Turnstone," the first book in the Detective Inspector Joe Faraday series by Graham Hurley, is about as good as it gets for a police procedural. The characters are fully drawn, the plot is intricate, and the personal lives of DI Faraday and his officers of the Portsmouth CID are realistically crafted to sustain the reader's interest. Faraday, a widower whose deaf adult son has just left the nest, spends his time off birdwatching. Detective Sergeant Cathy Lamb, married to another police officer, is finding domestic life a bit elusive at the moment. Then there is Paul Winter, another member of the CID force, whose ambition and methods Faraday dislikes and distrusts, but even Faraday must admit the man knows how to get results. And then there is The Public, where money and influence have a say in what cases get what resources. Throw in some yacht racing and drug dealing in just the right amounts and you have a five-star story that will leave you looking for the next title in this British detective series.

Turnstone The Faraday and Winter Series Book 1 edition by Graham Hurley Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Well-constructed & engrossing read. Fallible Faraday & his team are interesting characters waiting to be rounded out. Including the interest in bird life adds another dimension. Couldn't put it down
Touchstone is perhaps the best murder mystery I have read in the past five years. It was a real page turner.
Interesting story. Very relevant for anyone living or who knows about Portsmouth. i found the story a bit haphazard, with detective trying an avenue that leads nowhere, then another, and so on. It is very true to what life ends up looking like, but would have expected more surprises in the book. Very good character development though
Great characters, great dialogue, lots of twists and turns. A richness of detail and observation that lesser authors just can't manage.
Graham Hurley starts his new exciting series in a rough city of Portsmouth. I finished this remarkable procedural just as the riots are spreading through the United Kingdom. Amazing coincidence or a sharp prediction?
In this debut, police is barely managing to keep order. Crime and violence are overtaking the city. Grim, but accurate picture of our world as it is speedily rolling downhill.
DI Joe Faradey, is a dedicated and honest policeman.Morals and principals are in short suply. The book is written with utmost skill, mixing thrills with acute observations about our shaky present. Brilliant work by Mr. Hurley.
Hurley appeared in a list of best British crime fiction and I decided to give this series a try. I enjoyed this book. Interesting setting and sharply drawn characters. I was confused a time or two because there are many different plot threads, but eventually it all comes together. I liked it well enough to move on to the second, which I'm enjoying even more, most likely because I'm now familiar with the slang, the milieu and the characters. However it's also likely that Hurley became more comfortable, too, and it shows. Delighted I have found a new author with a long backlist to enjoy.
As a former policeman in Portsmouth and actually stationed at the same police station, Kingston Crescent, as Joe Faraday I was taken back in time nostalgically. Not a bad story line and of course for me most of the places mentioned were very familiar. Last time I was back in Portsmouth it was sad to note the grubbiness and dilapidation even of the seaside area Southsea which used to be a favorite haunt decades ago for me. Too much about birds and bird-watching and too little, in fact, no love interest or romance at all. Not sure if I will try a second book in the series.
