Great series, but the later ones are getting a bit too complex and leaving some threads unresolved.

Much more than a detective novel.!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 May 2019

Having read all of the Susan Hill Simon Serrailler novels, I started to read them again in order. I don't usually reread detective or thriller novels but Susan Hills are the exception. Shadows in the Street is riveting, shocking and amazing. The story is dense, side stories, unexpected turns and huge suspense. Even though this was the second time l have read this but it was just as scary, shocking and amazing. Susan Hill writes about real human beings, good and bad, over a huge canvas and I enjoyed this so much more than the first time. She writes highly readable books filled with so much detail. Highly recommended. Each book can stand alone but read the series to get the full effect....just seen that there will be a new one in the autumn!!

Simon Serailler 5

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 April 2020

I felt emotionally exhausted between after the last book in this series... it was so depressing. I'd already got this but it has taken my a while to work up to reading it.... but actually this book is quite a change in direction. The other books in this series have had a heavy focus on the Serrailler/Deerbon families where as in this book we get back to crime as yet another serial killer is on the loose in Bevham. Initially, prostitutes start going missing, but then other female members of the public - right under the noses of police. As always, you get the sense from the start that we know the killer - they are in the story somewhere.... but I didn't see this one coming.

I'm still not sure why these books are Simon Serailler series as he doesn't really feature that heavily. Anyway, this follows a similar format to the other books in the series but unlike the other books, no major characters die which is a welcome relief!!

I quite enjoyed this book - it's got a good pace with some interesting new characters.... but I still dont think I've recovered from all of the horror in the last book to feel truly happy reading this.

first class detective series

I had previously only known Susan Hill for her famous 'Woman in Black' but once I had read The Various Haunts of Men I was totally hooked on her Simon Serrailler detective series. You could in theory read any one of the books on its own but there is so much social and family background that you would be losing out as Simon's relations with his sister Cat, her children, his father Richard and stepmother Judith are central to each story. There is even his mysterious brother Ivo , a flying doctor in the Australian Outback, I wonder if he will ever actually feature in a story? The series is set in the fictional small English cathedral city of Lafferton which seems to have an uncharacteristically high murder rate - I live just outside a similar town , Canterbury, and it just doesn't happen! Well ok this IS crime fiction.

Massive fan of Susan Hill and the Serrailler series. I had somehow missed this book and had to go back and fill in the gaps I had been aware of in subsequent novels. So now I know what happened to Jayne. Feel there could have been more effort put into winding things down there to give closure. Enjoyed the spell spent on Tarransy and the updating of the lives of the Serrailler family. The main story, as always was gripping and the new characters beautifully intertwined with the tale. Recommended Read.

Nothing is as it first seems

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2015

After a spell of reading historical books, I needed a comfort read, something familiar. A pageturner, but well-written. So I picked up this, the fifth in the Simon Serrailler detective series by Susan Hill. And I tweeted about it. Susan Hill replied with the question: “Comfort?!!”
I know what she means; a crime thriller should not be comfortable reading. I replied: “Okay, discomfort with familiar characters”.
I finished the book that same day, but sat back and considered what made me feel comfortable with this series of books. Firstly, the quality of the writing. Hill’s detective Serrailler is a literary gem, he is distinctive but believable, seems ordinary but is extraordinary. And he is surrounded by a close-knit family whose stories I also follow from book to book. Hill is particularly good at creating mood – a skill also used in her ghost stories – and her description of place is minimal but so effective. For example, “It was a damp, mild October night with a thin mist drifting away over the black water of the canal like a spirit departing a dead body. The air smelled green.” And there is depth to her writing, literary and cultural references there for you to delight in recognising but which don’t matter if you don’t get them.
In Lafferton, two prostitutes are murdered. Simon Serrailler is on sabbatical leave on a remote Scottish island. A librarian takes food parcels to the prostitutes, one of whom is beaten up by her boyfriend. As usual with Hill’s books, each new chapter makes you want to devour the book in one sitting as she lays out first one possibility then another. Of course nothing is as it first seems.
This is the fifth of the Simon Serrailler books.
