Although I'm a great fan of the police-procedural type of crime novel I don't normally buy them in hardback. No matter how well written they are, once you know who killed the vicar, well, you know who killed the vicar. However, I had a birthday about a month after "The Murder Room" was published in July 2003 and the hardback edition was a thoughtful present.

I've given the book three stars and a cautious recommendation, although you might like to wait until the book appears on library shelves. It's not one you're likely to read again.
