4.0 out of 5 stars Bigger and Bigger, 13 Oct 2007
By Ian Paterson "exiledscotsman" (Newcastle Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lethal Intent (Bob Skinner Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
I've been reading the Skinner series in order I really can't see how anyone could read them any other way. I love rebus but essentially there's about 4 characters in Rankin's series. With Jardine there are so many recurring characters you need to have read the whole series to have any chance of remembering who evryone is.

With the last few books the crime has kept getting bigger and here is no exception. Adding a real life person added to the tension and the twist right at the end I have to admit has been one of the best of the whole series.

I'm kind of glad that the Sarah relationship looks like coming to an end she was a key character in introducing the reader to Skinner but I feel their story had started to detract from the thriller element of the books.
I hope the next book carries on with the story because I want to understand the twist more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not his best, 10 Aug 2005
By D. Duckfield "daved" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is another good read that continues the various storylines developed in previous volumes. The book's one major weakness is the same as in the last volume - Skinner's acceptance of his wife's infidelity. Someone of the DCC's character would not, I believe, be so submissive to such an arrogant and selfish Sarah. That she is now leaving his life is not before time (however, I don't think she'll be away for long) let's hope that a more appealing figure takes over that role. Otherwise, a fine plot well crafted.

4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable new Skinner book!, 14 Sep 2005
This is a worthy follow up to the previous books in the series. While it's not groundbreaking or original in the Skinner theme it's very readable to fans of the series. A previous reviewer mentioned about his wife's infidelity, it must be remembered that he hasn't exactly been spotless himself so they've put up with each others. This book does continue to develop the characters and you become as interested in them as you do in the plot surrounding the crime. As ever I look forward to the next offering from Quintin Jardine in this series.
