Slow start but worth it.

I was thinking this was a pretty ordinary Police Procedural and then the surprise came.
I think I'll read more of Harvey's work

excellent

this is my first john harvey book & it won't be my last. this is an engrossing story with believable and well rounded characters. excellent narrator. i found it hard to put it aside until i had finished the book. definitely some surprises that i didn't see coming.
