In the past I have read (and enjoyed) a fair few cop series - Connelly's Bosch, James Lee Burke's Robicheaux. I think the past couple of years I have put them aside and read more PI stuff. I don't think my tastes have totally evolved away from "cop" books, I have just given myself a breather from them. <br />Agreed though on reading for enjoyment - hopefully life isn't too short! col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-9957255321369704492014-02-12T02:38:12.972-08:002014-02-12T02:38:12.972-08:00I know I whinge about long books but I must admit ...I know I whinge about long books but I must admit ultra short is not really my thing either. <br /><br />Not sure how you'll go with Challis and Destry...Wyatt is definitely more your type of storyline I think - and why ought you read more cop books? life is short, read what you like.

I don't know if stretching the storyline would have heightened the suspense, especially given the plot of this novel.Prashant C.
