DS Kerr and DCI Jacobson can discern no obvious motive for the murder of Dr Roger Harvey. He didn't do serious drugs, didn't have a criminal record, and he wasn't gay. Not even his closest friends can throw any light on the mystery which threatens to unravel in every direction. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Ambitious academic Dr Roger Harvey is found dead in his apartment, having been beaten about the head. There are no readily discernible motives, and very few clues. The police investigation is led by DCI Jacobson and DS Kerr.
Presumably intending to make them ‘interesting’ characters, Iain McDowall bestows angst-ridden personalities on both of them. Sadly this move fails, and serves only to render them, and the book as a whole, very tedious. Not one character betrays any vaguely empathetic trait found myself steeped in apathy with regard to the resolution of the mystery.
This is not a series that I will be returning too. Apart from any other consideration, the prose was of a flatness and deadness that suggested to me that the author had been even less interested in the story than I was. ( )
