This was worth my time, so it's damn sure worth yours

Blood is the Sky, by Steve Hamilton: - great, tough-minded crime writing with fantastic characterisation and a real feel for the sorrows and pain of ordinary people. The descriptions of the environment and wildlife around northern Ontario are amazing, too. I really was transported out into that wilderness.
It's the only one of his I've read, to my shame, but it sounds like they're all good.
And, to repeat, if it's worth my time, it's damn sure worth yours.
