I couldn't finish this book. The writing was hard to follow and boring. I could no longer make myself read any more descriptions like that of a police headquarter which was built of "brick and flirtatiously painted steel".

This was very derivative and cliched. ... and dreadful sex. Honestly, don't bother.

Wasn't too keen on this. Very drawn out and boring in parts. Strange ending.

I read this book some time ago when I was struggling to get published and enjoyed it. Now that I am a published crime writer I thought I would give it a fresh read and see if I enjoy it as much the second time round. T.R Bowen is an accomplished screenwriter and actor. This was his first published crime novel.

Another mystery I picked up in the reception area of the hotel. Not my fave--I liked the British setting, less so the fawning descriptions of the main character, a distant, moody, hot cop who is catnip to the ladies. My favorite thing about the book was that a minor character is named Giovanni--Gio--Jones.

Great find! Well-developed story and enigmatic characters. Can easily be turned in a series. Looking forward to more of this.

Even for a read-while-riding-the-Tube book: eh. Neither the story nor the characters were particularly compelling.
