This review is from: Gently By the Shore (Inspector George Gently 2) (Paperback)

Tis is one of the first three books in the series,and is well-written.Inspector George Gently is gruff,but thorough and truly a great detective.He is insightful,and a great teacher.There's no sidekick like on the series,but this is well-done writing of police procedures.
