Names spoil the story,
By
This review is from: Snares of Guilt (A Detective Inspector Handford mystery) (Paperback)
Although I enjoyed this book- very easy reading, it was spoiled to a certain extent by the inaccurate Sikh and Muslim names- Amajit is a Sikh name NOT a Muslim one and Rukhsana Mahmood is a Muslim name. It seems strange that the author did not have it checked prior to publication. Perhaps if the reader has no prior knowledge of the culture or religion it would not matter and the book is worth reading.

Snares of Guilt,
By
This review is from: Snares of Guilt (Paperback)
I could not take this seriously, as certain Asian characters names were culturally unacceptable. The characters could not remain credable with these names, the story then ruined.

A wonderful addition to the portfolio of UK crime writers!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Snares of Guilt (Paperback)
And that is not to say it is just another UK written crime novel.This book is original and well written as it is also well plotted. Set in the cultural hot pot that is Bradford, the area is well brought to the page. Where this book leads the field, is in its ability to play with the reader on red herrings. We don't drop from a great height here, we simply experience facts at the same time as the police and are privy to their interpretation of them. Hence, and unusually for a crime novel, we follow the investigation with the police in an unedited, but far from boring, fashion. No one in this book is free from sin, error, misguided action. It's the most realistic book I have ever read. The follow up is now published and it is on my list of "to buy". Lesley Horton has a great future in the crime writing genre. Read this book and be both entertained and stimulated.
