This is my least favorite of the Lovesey novels I have read so far, which is not that I don't think it is a fine book. I suppose I prefer the character of Diamond better and the literary backdrops in many of his Diamond books. The character development in this mystery is very fine, great psychological depth. Jake is a great character, as are Jo and Gemma. For some reason this book made me quite edgy.

"The Headhunters" is a thoroughly delightful detective story, old-fashioned in the way that reminds us why we started reading and loving mysteries in the first place. Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Hen Mallin (3)
Chichester CID inspector Henrietta "Hen" Mallin investigates a series of deaths by drowning that may be the work of an ex-con with a suspicious past. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

A good mystery: good plot, well-developed characters, and an exciting finish, but Hen Mallin will never be able to compete with Peter Diamond. She just doesn't have the personality to entice a reader. A minor point because Lovesey has only written three novels in the Hen Mallin series.
I listened to an audiobook read by a very poor narrator. I always enjoy Peter Lovesey's books and decided to stick with it but I'm sure a print copy, had one been available, would have got a higher rating from me. ( )
