“I’m told by the author that this is a departure from his tongue in cheek crime novels.
I read his first a few years back and hadn’t felt the need to try again. But when you are due to introduce a guest speak one likes to be up to date with their work.
So… I tore through the first third, got bored in the middle section, disappointed with the ending.
It had the making of some longer tern characters who I’m sure we will read about again. They will develop, one reminded me of Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum.
Perhaps I should just stop reading crime novels?
