 ... same age really helped - I could identify with a lot of his fears and concerns, which made him that bit more human. As a policeman, he is hard-hitting and tough with his employees, so the glimpses into his personal life really help make him a much more rounded character. The fact that he is based in Brighton, at a site where I once spent a week observing the custody suite as part of a study, made him come even more to life for me - I could see him crossing the street to Asda because I've done it many times myself...more

good title Characters, story lacking depth and detail.

Great decriptions of Venice Slow paced story

Something a little different from Billingham - a kidnapping rather than a murder. It's not as good as his previous efforts.

Well argued case, easy to read book No clear alternative

Didn't cost much, The cover looks pretty good. Plot progresses poorly, Three narrators makes for messy reading.

The ability to keep the truth from the reader to almost the end I thought it was boring for the most part, as well as disappointing!
