review 1: I'm baffled by the mostly positive reviews that this book has generated. Second in the series, I liked it even less than the first, and I didn't care for that one either. You know from the get go who the perpetrators are. Where's the fun or challenge in that? The subsequent investigation to identify and arrest the guilty is boring. Mediocre plot, mediocre writing and unlikeable characters. I have the next in the series on my Kindle, but I doubt that I'll bother to read it. Not much to recommend here.
review 2: The book is at first interesting because each chapter introduces you to a different character that will play a part in the total mystery. I don't know why I kept reading it though. I never liked any of the characters. The main character, Geraldine is a wo... morerkaholic detective in England that feels sorry for herself because she doesn't have any important people in her personal life. I can see why, I couldn't stand her either! It seems that all the policemen and women spend a great deal of time in the local pub after work. That doesn't make for a very stimulating read. Geraldine also spends way too much time sitting home alone drinking wine and doing paperwork. I had most of the mystery figured out so it wasn't as intellectually challenging as some. less
