I wouldn't even mind the decade-by-numbers approach, if Hall's own characters were in any way original, but there's the handsome vice detective with a heart of gold - and a gay brother - and the spunky female photographer with a Mary Quant bob and a nose for trouble. Dolly bird Kate O'Donnell heads south to the Big Smoke, looking for her big chance and her little brother, who is into some unsavoury business involving gay pornography. She is followed by an ex from the Pool, who is also in a band, and meets another scouser selling flowery shirts to men on Carnaby Street, and they all - regardless of gender - call each other 'la'. The mystery, such as it is, devolves into a hackneyed and rather naive parboiled detective novel about bent coppers and greedy underworld bosses. I just got fed up with all the clichés and stereotypes, and the whole thing is barely two hundred pages long. ( )
