review 1: The plot opens with the sniper killing of a policeman as he walks his rounds in Bath. This is the third such sniper shooting of uniform policemen in the Bath area by a sniper who has so far eluded authorities. The Serial Crimes Unit has the lead in all three cases, but so far, they have not located a suspect. Enter Chief Superintendent Peter Diamond and his CID unit. What is the connection among the cases? The politics of the British police system are interesting to observe. There are a number of false leads. The killer is something of a surprise, but Peter Diamond explains all in the end. A good read that will keep your attention throughout. A good procedural.
review 2: A really good detective story with lots of red herrings. I must admit that I didn'... moret guess who had killed the cop-it was a surprise at the end-although I did think afterwards that of course it was that person!(I'm trying not to give the story away!) Loved all the references to the different places around Bath as I lived near there as a teenager. The only bits I didn't like were the blogs. At first I thought I'd opened the wrong book as they didn't seem to relate to the story. I eventually made sense of them, but they could have done with some explanation at the beginning! less
