#37. Past Reason Hated by Peter Robinson

Title:

Past Reason Hated

Author:

Peter Robinson

Genre:

Crime Fiction/Police Procedural

Synopsis:

A young woman is murdered shortly before Christmas and the police scramble to try uncover her hidden past in order to discover who could have wanted to do her harm.

Verdict:

The descriptions/characters/pacing and so on were… OK but it felt like a second best novel/author, everything felt a bit flat. There was a weird reference to Adam Dalgliesh (P.D. James’ fictional detective) as if he were a real person in the world this book takes place in which reminds the reader sharply in an annoying fashion that this is a work of fiction. Shitty treatment of GLBT characters and poor motives. Not worth reading.
