review 1: I love Maitland's books for reasons I don't quite understand. They are a kind of comfort reading, and I also like how he brings the reader into a new world of stamp collecting, art creation, etc. This book did not bring me into a new world. I also am beginning to seriously wonder about Kathy Kolla. How many times does she need to be abducted and tortured before she writes a damn note to tell people where she's going? Kathy! You are not going to crack the case with your stunning new clue! You are GOING TO BE ABDUCTED.
review 2: Just discovered a new mystery series: Brock and Kolla mysteries by Barry Maitland. I started with the latest one – The Raven’s Eye, published just recently, but apparently the series and Mr. Maitland have been around since 1999 �... more� when it all started with The Marx Sisters. In the Raven’s Eye, DI Kathy Kolla and her boss, DCI Brock, are faced with some very unusual murders (made to look like accidents), drastic budget cuts and a new Supervisor who seems at the same time a bit obsessed and extremely dense. There are some elements of the unreal here: a new Scotland Yard division, DiSTaF, charged with bringing new technology into crime solving, but which is actually developing illegal spy chips to be embedded in the human body. (Or is this unreal?) This is a page turner with some well developed characters and a really interesting plot. I will go back and start from the beginning. less
