Product Description
Review
‘Harstad’s first-hand experience ensures his storytelling always rings true.’ Arena
‘The Big Thaw, set in the dead of winter in a Fargo-like mid-west, is American procedural writing at its best.’ Guardian
Independent on Sunday
‘Harstad’s books are terrific and really capture the atmosphere of small-town America, where the twentieth century almost seems to have slipped by unnoticed.’

Donald Harstad & Carl Houseman - back in style !!,
This review is from: Code Sixty-One (Paperback)
We first met Carl Houseman in Eleven Days, a magnificient first novel full of Donald Harstad's former occupational insight. The second and third novels were great but lacked a bit of the 'punch' that this, Code Sixty One, definitely doesn't lack. Donald Harstad's work is very easy to read and conjures a vivid picture of the world over which Carl Houseman presides. Carl is a truly 'normal' person and his down to earth nature makes him extremely likable, similar with many of the other recurring characters. The 'vampire' storyline may seemed farfetched but, trust me, it's thoroughly gripping. Donald Harstad writes in a very easy to read style and is ideal for everything from a holiday in the sun to a cold winter's night. This book will leaving you checking on line for the release date of the next instalment.

Should be better known,
This review is from: Code Sixty-One (Paperback)
I read Code61 first and loved it, great plot and obviously written with first hand experience of small town American law enforcement. A Long December was just as good. Such a shame this author is so hard to find, he should be better known

This review is from: Code Sixty-One (Paperback)
Starting with Eleven Days I have read all 5 of Harstad's novels and have enjoyed them very much. His style really is in the minutiae of solving the crimes he portrays and this, for the most part, is most intriguing. His main foil, the detective Carl Houseman, and his female Fed sidekick are also very believable too. Well worth reading if you like the genre.
