review 1: I was delighted with the detective and his interesting mind. In fact, I had read the second book in what is supposed to be a trilogy and came back for this one. I was doing fine for most of the book, then things got away from me. I was suddenly facing too many characters, two completely different crimes, a teeny bit of woo woo and more complexity than the story deserved. The book needed one more stern editor. Nevertheless, I love Chief Inspector Peter Cammon. He may be 67 and retired but you don't get that worn out feeling that some of our most beloved detectives have acquired from too many years on the job. I'm looking forward to the 3rd book. I also hope he doesn't retire for good at the end of that one.
review 2: I thought I'd try this British author t... moreo compare their style mystery writing to the American style and compare the geography of the setting to the American settings. Whellam's is a very different writer compared to Michael Connelly or Jeffery Deavers. Their stories are fast paced, well researched, complex with layers, twists and turns. Whellam's is leasurely, plodding but sure in story line, perhaps filled with non-compelling details and has a completely different tone and feel. He may not be typical of the British style. It was difficult to stay engaged. less
