I should look for the second in the series to see if I was too pessimistic about Harry.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-66126458045470939082018-04-09T22:03:04.648-06:002018-04-09T22:03:04.648-06:00Moira: Thanks for the comment.

I will be on a cruise shortly that has stops at ports in Wales and England. Unfortunately, Liverpool is not one of them. I hope I can get to Liverpool on another trip.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-70993377273742715592018-04-07T12:43:14.885-06:002018-04-07T12:43:14.885-06:00I don't remember finding this a depressing rea...I don't remember finding this a depressing read. I mostly noticed how obsessed Harry was with his estranged wife. But that kind of separation can cause depression; my first marriage ended in divorce and I was depressed for over a year. I have found books 3 and 4 in this series but now I will have to find Suspicious Minds and see how things go for Harry.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-26298857005442257002018-04-06T10:20:52.054-06:002018-04-06T10:20:52.054-06:00I'm sorry you didn't enjoy this book more!...I'm sorry you didn't enjoy this book more! Liverpool is my home city (I grew up there, and worked there as an adult, though now live some way away) and has gone through some very bad times: it was indeed a very sad and decrepit place when Martin wrote the book. But - I am happy to say it has since undergone considerable regeneration, and is a very cheerful and beautiful place these days. The waterfront, which was a graveyard of lost industry and trade, is now a beautiful sweep of glorious buildings. You should come and visit it some time!Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-66800486954853054472018-03-30T17:24:37.837-06:002018-03-30T17:24:37.837-06:00Margot: Thanks for the comment.

I honestly liked it better than you did. Still, I do know what you mean about Harry Devlin. He is a depressed, unhappy person. I don't, of course, have your legal insights, so I can't speak about Devlin's professional work. But that aside, I did appreciate the novel's sense of atmosphere. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
