      It has been far too long since we've had a new Bill Slider mystery to savour. In this one we have Bill and Atherton on the trail of a particularly distasteful criminal who appears to have a vendetta against Bill. We also have Bill's Joanna pregnant with their child, and Joanna and Bill are trying to find a convenient time to get married before the baby is born. There are two main story lines in this book, and by the time the book is halfway done these two storylines come together, and the result is a consipriacy plot that takes Bill and his crew very high up the political food chain. This is a cracker of a book, and it made me remember how much I like Bill Slider. He is an ordinary man with ordinary life issues to deal with while he solves very unordinary crimes. The puzzle is complex and we have Ms. Harrod-Eagles wonderful wit that shines throughout the book. I highly recommend this series, but it is better to begin with the first book and then read in order, although this book is good enough to stand on its own.
    • 4/5
      Another enjoyable Bill Slider story, although I thought not quite up to the standard of others I've read recently. However the writing is as witty as always and the characters never less than interesting, but I missed Slider's Irish colleague Connolly who clearly doesn't arrive until later in the series. As previously I enjoyed a reference to a little-known place not far from me, Husborne Crawley, used as a short-cut to the M1!
    • 4/5
      Finally another Bill Slider mystery! It's a good suspenceful mystery-in fact there are two. . . I won't post spoilers, but I will say that some personal and business loose ends are tied up for Slider and Atherton.
    • 2/5
      This really wasn't very good, sadly. The murder being investigated turned out to be related to those featured in the two previous instalments and involved corruption in the police, government, prison service, you name it. It was all totally unbelievable and that was before you got to the Atherton/Emily romance of the century and the Slider/Joanna wedding while she was in labour, both of which were frankly a little stomach-churning. I assume this is mean to be it for Atherton's love life, and I sincerely hope it is.I also hope the next instalment marks a return to form.
