Lovesey has created a very appealing main character (a woman who finds herself falling in love with a man who appears to have a connection to a dead woman)and a plot that plausibly connects all of the suspects with the victims. It was my favorite mystery read this year.Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-17856183180801886712009-12-29T17:35:01.356+00:002009-12-29T17:35:01.356+00:00Hmm, your comment makes Skeleton Hill even more ap...Hmm, your comment makes <i>Skeleton Hill</i> even more appealing Martin!

I do admire his short stories enormously and the collection you mention is one of the best single author collections in the past 20 years in my opinion.Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-20462810719714302972009-12-29T12:24:18.659+00:002009-12-29T12:24:18.659+00:00Kerrie, I did and I'm truly grateful.

I also love his collection of shorts <i>Do Not Exceed the Stated Dose</i>. Haven't read <i>Skeleton Hill</i> yet, but I enjoyed <i>The Headhunters</i> just before Christmas although I would have liked to see more of Hen Mallison. I really disliked <i>The Detective Wore Silk Drawers</i> and <i>Wobble to Death</i>, probably because I can't bear violence (yes, I know... but I still claim to enjoy crime novels!)FionaBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-83470370164573547812009-12-29T09:38:05.789+00:002009-12-29T09:38:05.789+00:00Peter Lovesey is one of my favourite authors too M...Peter Lovesey is one of my favourite authors too Martin.
