This is the second book I've read by John Harvey - this one wasn't one of his Inspector Resnick books. This one 'stars' a retired detective named Frank Elder. Unfortunately this wasn't the first in the series - so some of the references to his past were slightly confusing. However, Mr Harvey obviously writes a very competent above average cop novel. I'm not sure if he's in the same league as your superior 'Whodunnit' novelists, but he seems good on characters, and plots are fine. He's not so good on suspense though and the murderer isn't a great revelation. Rating? A solid 7
