Title: Reads like 'Caversham Heights' brought to life
Review: Stop - put that mouse down now. Walk slowly away from the keyboard. If you enjoy contemporary 'British detective' stories don't waste your time on this book. The characters are cardboard, the dialog(ue) stilted and unbelievable - the plot so tedious that your eyes glaze over. I suggest you head over to one of the 'Bill Slider' tales to see how this type of modern detective story should be written.It is not the waste of money I object to, so much as the hassle of getting the dings out of the wall caused by my throwing this book across the room.[If you have read Jasper fforde then the title 'Caversham Heights' says it all - if you haven't, then a quick 'search' will explain all.]
