Title: Dislikable main character
Product review: I sat down in great anticipation of a good British mystery and instead of reading the book in a single sitting as I usually do, took over a week to finish Funeral Music.I did not like Sara Selkirk, finding her too self-centred, pretentious and snobby for my tastes. A man was murdered and somehow it was all about her. Sara didn't "investigate" because she was horrified at the death of the victim, rather she was upset that it interfered with the even tenor of her life.She reacted with distaste at the way George, a security guard treated a homeless woman with a child, yet she was not above the same kind of judgemental actions, albeit higher brow.I certainly would not count someone like her among my friends and I most likely will not read the next in the series.
