I've read all ten and am still enjoying the late volumes as much as the early ones (something I wouldn't claim about, say, Elizabeth George) and continue to be interested in the private fates of Bill Slider and his sidekick, Jim Atherton. ('Sidekick' indeed, since the dialogue between the two will make you both giggle and groan -- it's full of clever wordplay and bad jokes alike.) I recommend reading these in order, starting with "Orchestrated Death". Personally, I like buying the Bill Slider omnibuses (four to date, containing ten novels) since they make for nice big doorstoppers, ideal for rainy gray "stay in bed" days. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Chattie Cornfeld was murdered while jogging in the park. She ran her own small marketing company and lived comfortably, perhaps too comfortably for her income. At first it looked as though she was the latest victim of the "Park Killer", but it doesn't take Slider and Atherton long to establish that someone was trying to pass the killing off as part of a pattern - only the pattern doesn't fit, this one was personal. Chattie was popular with all who crossed her path, and it was difficult to imagine she had gained any enemies. Turning to the two most popular motives for murder - money and passion - Slider and his team's investigation turn up some puzzling anomalies in her life, not least the number of men who counted themselves as her lover and the tangled relationships of her family. But none of the suspects can be made to fit what evidence they have, unless of course they've been mis-reading the evidence. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

On the other hand, the main story (other than the surely preposterous idea that some one could invest 20,000 GBP in shares and turn this into 750,000 GBP a few years later) was very good. The characters were interesting and the mystery well-clued. ( )
