Title: Shocked!
Review: I have waited so many years to read an author as thrilling, hilarious, and intelligent as Reginald Hill. I have read many other books in this series and have been completely satisfied. That's why I was ASTOUNDED at how utterly BORING this was. The last fifty pages or so I actually skimmed, praying for the end to come. If this was the first Reginald Hill book I picked up, it would have without doubt never read him again, which would have been a great loss. I recommend skipping this book entirely, but give the others a chance, as they are quite good.
