RIP - Crimson is the second of Len E Hooke's trio of part thriller, part treatises on the human condition and the journey we all must face. In this instalment, the rogue killer spirit is trapped in the spirit world, but further killings drag Inspector Judy Marchant deeper into the mix, to a point where she must question her sanity and re-evaluate God's true creative intentions. Hooke's complex meditations on God and life make for a thoroughly enriching yet immensely enjoyable work.
