Members Reviews:

No bueno

I gave up on this. I could not handle all the British slang and the plot was very slow moving. Not up to Turnbull's usual level.

The Garden Party

This book is a real page turner. There was no distraction with police personal lives just short interludes to reveal their personal lives.

Good procedural police drama.

The Garden Party Review

The story is too repetitive. It is not up to Peter Turnbull's previous work. He has done better in the past.

Slow and wooden

The dialogue is painfully wooden and stilted, not so bad at the start but gets more so the further you get in the book. The pacing just plods and creeps along. Not worth the effort, in the end.

Good procedural

The author is a minimalist as for description. There isn't any. The story is told through dialog, and that is first rate.
