Actually really liked this book.

I was looking for a good mystery when this popped up on my Kindle. Decided to give it a try although not familiar with the author... I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. If you are a fan of British style mysteries as I am, you will probably like it.

The Football Murders.

I have enjoyed reading this series, but for some reason, it doesn't seem quite finished yet. Each book has been another part of Eric's journey, with some interesting characters along the way, and I hope there will be another. Yes, I will recommend it.

Another well-plotted and enjoyable tale. The contrasting personalities between Eric Ward the careful lawyer and hothead DCI Charlie Spate give depth to these later stories in the series.

I have read all of the 14 Eric Ward mysteries and this one continues the top notch plotting and complexity as the others. I love to read them!
