'John Harvey's Resnick novels are far and away the finest British police procedurals ever written'

Customer Reviews
good genre fiction and piques interest in series
although i'm not much of a mystery reader, i read this book since it was set in nottingham. i felt i learned some about the city--and not just that it has slasher attacks and rapes. the mystery part of the book gets intriguing about half way through--though this may be a genre feature. there's a lot of introduction in the first half: the cast of characters, tidbits of suspicion. once it gets going, i didn't want to put it down. after reading the book, i felt satisfied with the mystery's resolution but a part of me felt that i was left hanging. then i realized that it was because i had become interested in the detectives and their families and little was resolved with regards to them. aha! now i want to read the rest of the series! very clever! if you haven't read any of the resnick series, you might be interested in reading the first one first as i feel now that i've missed a little history.
