John Harvey has had three different series. The first was Charlie Resnick
and there were ten of those. they are set in Nottingham and Resnick is
famous for loving jazz, so you should like that Shell. He also loves
football and making and eating exotic sandwiches. His second series is the
Frank elder books and there are three of those. The latest set, of which
his new book is number two, I have not read yet.

I know I have pet hates and things I look for when reading, and if too many
of the minus
points turn up in one book, then it's a non finisher. i'm sure everyone
else is the same,
but with different dislikes and likes. Sometimes i can't even put my finger
on what it is
that is putting me off, just a case of not connecting. Martina Cole and
Tess Gerritsen
were 2 big let downs for me but I've only tried one book each of their's, so
may try
another if I ever get over the first ones. I love McBain though, keep
meaning to read
them all again in the right order. I've never tried John Harvey, what sort
of series is
that?
Shell.
