3.0 out of 5 stars The same old same old....., 15 Jun 2004
By A Customer
I'm never sure why I keep coming back to Peter Turnbull, but the fact is I always do, so he must have something! Reality Checkpoint is identikit Turnbull: the plot is not exactly challenging (I spotted whodunnit pretty early on); the characters are not well-differentiated and are in any case clones of earlier ones despite the new Cambridge background (Household has close similarities to Hennessey and also to Sussock, Dr Sleaford and Dr D'Acre have a lot in common, and so on); the dialogue is, as ever, clunky to put it kindly (does anyone actually tell their life-story to the police within 5 seconds of the first 'hello'?!) and the stylistic tics ('really? yes, really'; 'pondered'; 'reasoned'; 'wholesome'.....) get ever more numerous and annoying. However, despite all this I did enjoy it. It seemed to me to be a lot more carefully-written than the last two or three York ones and the new background is refreshing, though i have a terrible feeling that if this is the first of a new series it will become all-too-familiar all too soon. But all that said, i keep buying and reading them, which i suppose means the author is doing his job.
