Title: A HUGE disappointment
Product review: First of all, I got this by mistake when Amazon listed this as a special offer for comedy writing. It is in fact a British police procedural, and a poor one at that.The author spends pages building a back story, but nothing ever comes together. The protagonist (and evidently the writer) states that many cases are solved by accident, not through any skill on the part of the police. That is how it is resolved - just by dumb luck, and no reason is ever given for why the killer started the spree in the first place. I had never read anything by Pawson before and I thought the development was OK, but wrapping it up was just a huge slap in the reader's face. (And the title is so incredibly lame, referencing a comment at the very end of the book with no tie whatsoever to anything about the case.)
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
