When a mutilated body is found on a buoy in the middle of a harbor, DI Andy Horton draws the case, temporarily. IfAndy cant solve it in four days, it will be handed over to his main rival, recently promoted over Andy to the crime squad. Hes hot on the trail when another murder takes place, and the victim is Andys top suspect. The very large (and somewhat confusing) cast of characters and a conclusion thats a bit out of left field are drawbacks in an otherwise entertaining procedural. Give this series, making its first appearance in the U.S., a chance to find its legs.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
