Victim In Victoria Station (Wwl Mystery)

Rating:
Summary: Another enjoyable Dorothy Martin read
Review: As an anglophile and part-owner of a software development company, this one had me intrigued before I opened the cover; it didn't let me down. Dams could have made mistakes when she forayed into technical issues, but she didn't. The prose is clean and simple to understand for those non-technical. The plot moved well, and the setting was interesting. Alan was missed in this book, and not just by Dorothy. Hopefully he will have more of a presence in the future stories I'm already eagerly awaiting.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I could hardly wait to read this latest Dorthey Martin book. So I bought the hard cover. It is so bad I almost did't finish it. The murders are never explained. The characters are all gray and you need a guide to tell them apart. In the end you think to yourself,"That is it?" Mrs. Martin, not your best effort.

Summary: A Bit of a Let Down
Review: I was very excited about 'Victim in Victoria Station' and could not wait to get started. However, I was soon disappointed. The reason for Alan not being there was very contrived and I cannot imagine anyone rushing off to keep an appointment after her experience on the train. There were too many characters in the office to keep track of, especially since they were not very relevant to the story. The murders and motives are never explained, yet we are taken ad nauseam through endless (fruitless?) late night searches. Not one of the best in the series. Missed the hats as well, although I did enjoy the red one near the beginning.
