Hellfire: A Midnight Eye File

All right well if you've read the other Derek Adams stories you know the deal: We're getting a case and going pub hopping to get clues from colorful characters with heavy Scottish accents.

While searching for someone's missing grandaughter he comes across an odd mirror involved in strange cases of people being consumed by fire. It also includes an old journal written by a certain detective who came across the mirror as well that was in another William Meikle collection and can be seen as a continuation of that story I suppose.

It doesn't even try to stray from its usual things but it manages to be a good read because it is well-written and moves fast.

Despite always leaning too heavily on its formula these stories are enjoyable to me. The setting feels alive and the characters are fun. Hopefully, something will shake it all up in future stories but for now, I can accept it for what it is.
