Book Reviews of The Brighton Express (Detective Inspector Robert Colbeck) (Detective Inspector Robert Colbeck)
Book Review: Expressing an opinion
Summary: 3 Stars
I have come to look forward to the arrival of the next Inspector Colbeck novel and this latest edition lacked none of the plotting that I had expected. Yet I found it ratrher disappointing. Many authors of crime fiction have let their attention to detail slip and Agatha Christie sometimes uses the thrill of the denouement to cover up some implausibilities. From past experience I hadn't expected such inconsistencies and loose ends with Edward Marston, yet here we have a suspect being sought in an office from which, we had learned, he had been dismissed; here is someone on the margins of poverty who has fled from her home taking, by some mischance,the makings of a complete disguise! Both of these could have been skilfully avoided with no disturbance to the plot. I guess that publishers these days do not employ editors to check for inconsistencies and proof-readers are only there to check for transposed commas.
