4.0 out of 5 stars A good read, but sloppy in places, 14 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This is Judith Cutler's heroine Kate Power's third outing. As ever from Ms Cutler a well-written and pacey story.

My only niggle is the amount of crime Kate Power comes across in her personal life, the woman is her own walking crime wave! Although I enjoy reading crime series and know from experience that coincidences are a frequently used method of moving a plot along, sometimes it is a bit overused, and once or twice in this book I thought 'Oh no not again'. Still despite this I would recommend this book and any others written by Ms Cutler.

Without wanting to give anything away I am intrigued by what happened at the end of the book and look forward to reading the next one in the series to see how the situation is resolved.

2.0 out of 5 stars Prose Power?, 19 Aug 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Power Games (A Kate Power crime novel) (Hardcover)
The plot's reasonably well constructed but there's something rather unconvincing about Cutler's style. Some of her narrative and dialogue seems achingly middle-aged and middle class for the milieu she's supposedly depicting: inner city Birmingham coppers. One minute she's got them using phrases only your mum or even gran would use and inserting bits of unlikely academic trivia and the next she's got them attempting to get down and dirty with the vernacular and it jars. It's like finding Eminem lurking in the Marks & Spencer's food hall - it just doesn't fit.
