I couldn't pass the need to register my disgust at the quality of the second series of a story line which many enjoyed when the first series was released.  Here's the take I posted on the BBC web site.

'Sequels - like Marmite, aren't they? I suffered all five episodes and, quite honestly, you should not have bothered. I found the plot unrealistic in the extreme, the introduction of the new bit characters little more than gratuitous and the script - well, I felt genuinely sorry for the actors having to mouth all that trite nonsense.

You do something really worthwhile and then trash the whole concept with a badly conceived second series. Please don't tell me you are going to write another.'

I guess the BBC listened. There will be no more.

I'm a keen fan of Audible and listening to books whenever the opportunity presents itself. This translation of  Sandrone Dazieri's novel, narrated by Cassandra Campbell. It's a classic thriller in the sense of two dysfunctional individuals struggling against the odds and, often, themselves to solve the case of a double homicide with very personal overtones. The plot is good - a little too long for me and should have finished fifty pages earlier - and gripping. Narration becomes a little grating at times, but it's a novel that's well worth a listen or a read.
