Title: absolutely dull!
Product review: I bought this because reviews on the back cover stated it was as good as Sayers, Christie, etc.Indescribable boredom best describes my feeling prior to putting the book in the bin - I could not even give it to a charity bookshop - it was so dull!!The English speech patterns are obviously derived from Coronotaion Street or such like soaps - while the effect sought is apparently PG Wodehouse with a touch of The Nine Tailors.Characters have tedious conversations, the hero - a Scotland Yard policeman - apparently has no work to do, but he is in love with a Lady Kennington - therefore very posh! The only entertaining character is the owner of an antiques shop - but that's just because he is very rude about everybody else!
