review 1: Another enjoyable book in the Wesley Peterson series, this time with a historical sub-plot from the Napoleonic era. I like these stories and read them quite quickly - this one probably deserves a three and a half star rating. The convenient discovery of diaries which reveal all is just a bit too good to be true (but it's the sort of thing any archivist dreams of!) and I think there possibly may be a bit too much dialogue, on balance, but this is a fun series to read if you enjoy both detective stories and history, and I think it's improving as it goes on.
review 2: Another enjoyable read featuring Wesley Peterson. An decomposing corpse is found in a suburban house after an anonymous phone call to the police, and the bodies of two naked teenagers are discovered ... morein a sandy cove below some cliffs. They had been shot. It all meshes together satisfactorily and I did not guess the outcome until very late in the book. For the first time in the Petersen series, I found the historical sub-text irrelevant. The interaction between the Turner Prize aspiring artist Kevin Orford and archaeologist Dr Neil Watson was entertaining and pandered to my views about conceptual art. less
