"This is the first inspector Troy I have read. Lawton seems to be a literate writer, but the Troy character had no depth, just continual flashbacks of moments in his past. Perhaps we are supposed to read this affectlessness as some sort of shell shock (we know he was involved in WWII) but it had the effect of making me completely disinterested in the character. And as a special plus, the plotting is thin too."
"Brutal gangs, adultery, incest, explosions, political intrigue, police corruption, class warfare--amazingly, all in 1957 England. This ain't the 'Fifties of American TV. If you get irritated at plowing through page after page of British slang, don't even begin this. However, this is a very well-made and amusing mystery/thriller, the next DCI Troy book after "Old Flames.""
