Review of Stuart Pawson Having read my way through Rankin. Robinson, Harvey, Hurley and Billingham, I didn't like the idea of a detective novel written primarily in the first person. However, Pawson creates a great character with a sense of humour, but I feel lacks a little depth, ie not quite enough about his own personal enviroment such as Rebus or Banks.
A Mystery and Some Humour I like DI Charlie Priest and the series of books he features in - you get the ongoing police investigation type story line (here you actually get two for your money) and lots of humour too! Not sure what the previous reviewer was on about though.
