I didn't like this. It was stupid, especially the ending. The structure of this book is almost identical to the previous book in the series and is very repetitive in nature. The police in this are hopeless bumbling idiots who do surprisingly stupid things and behave in a highly inappropriate manner. The book is all over the place and doesn't follow any logical progression when investigating a crime. This might be okay if the main character was quirky and eccentric, but this is not the case. The surprising thing about this is that the main character in the book, Harry Falconer, doesn't appear until half way through.  I can only hope that things improve with this series. 

Unfortunately, I have another 12 books in this series to read as they are sitting on my shelf ready to go. I don't think I will rush into them.
