Under Plum Lake Line NW 263

the long version

Under Plum Lake is a kid's book that also wowed the adults that read it. Right from the opening lines the reader is drawn into a world suffused with a poignant melancholy, and then dazzled by a pyrotechnic display of storytelling from a master of suspense (Lionel Davidson was a three-times winner of the Golden Dagger award for crime writers). But the eerily evocative Under Plum Lake is like nothing else he wrote. A genuine one-off.
