I was surprised to dislike this book intensely. I'd not read (or seen) any Inspector Lynley and I was expecting to enjoy this tale of an aristocrat police detective. It's the first in the series and sometimes the first outing is not the best whilst an author is establishing characters but I am reall Leggi tutto
I usually dock a star if an animal is killed because that fictional horror is always needless. The reasoning in this police case was especially preposterous. A million other distractions could have been devised for a human murder; not committing an animal's. That was the most disturbing revelation,
