Dead E-mails,
By
This review is from: Dead Letters (Hardcover)
Dead Letters is two different stories with the same main character, instead of the traditional format of a novel both stories are a series of e-mails from Scottish police officer Honoria Potterton-Phipps to either her father or fellow police officer who is on secondment to the LAPD. Not your typical police officer Honoria is rich, heiress to vast wealth, her father has paid her way through life and she is only working because he made her get a job and she found a use for a criminology degree he paid for. With great qualifications her career has moved rather quickly and she is now in CID. Of course her colleagues have no idea of her wealth. It is not long before the small village of Newton Lauder has a dead body and she has her first homicide case.
I found this e-mail format a bit annoying to read as I did the dog breeding facts that kept coming up in every chapter. This is very similar to the John Cunningham dog kennel owner series the Hammond is best known for. The independent story novels are usually of a much higher standard but not so with Dead Letters. If there are sequels to these stories I won't be wasting money on them. Great Hammond novels worth your time and money include The Snatch, The Dirty Dollar, A Running Jump and On the Warpath. |
