River of Darkness was a book that I became aware of through the Kindle English Mystery Club and decided to give a try. It is interesting in that it reads like a modern-day serial killer thriller, but is set in the period between the wars in rural England. An entire family is obliterated and Inspector John Madden recognizes the wounds as he had served time in the Army. He begins to investigate and eventually finds connections to other murders and builds his case. In the course of this work, he meets a love interest to help him overcome his rather tragic past.

A decent quick mystery read, but I am not sure if I would invest the time in continuing the series.
