4.0 out of 5 stars Quite Different from Starry Bird!, January 12, 2003
This review is from: Dolly and the Singing Bird (Johnson Johnson, Bk 1) (Paperback)
This book was quite different from Starry Bird, but I still enjoyed it. This was the introductory book for Johnson Johnson, and it's easy to tell as he's not as finely developed as he gets in future installments. The novel is still fast-paced, and funny in its own way. The singing bird of the title is Tina Rossi, a world famous coloratura soprano. The story is built around her illicit relationship with an English scientist. There sre plenty of twists and turns in the plot, and the story does not end at all the way I expected. Still a pretty good 70's thriller.

3.0 out of 5 stars 'Men with bifocal glasses: I spit.', August 23, 2007
This review is from: Dolly and the Singing Bird (Johnson Johnson, Bk 1) (Paperback)
This is the first written of the Dolly series (published in 1968), but not the first chronologically. This novel introduces Johnson Johnson, a famous but enigmatic portrait painter who has far ranging and eclectic interests - and a beautiful yacht: 'Dolly'. The 'singing bird' is Tina Rossi, a leading coloratura soprano.

For those familiar with Dorothy Dunnett's historcial novels, the Johnson Johnson mysteries are very different. Johnson himself is a recognisable Dunnett hero (enigmatic and multi-talented) but the contemporary settings can be disconcerting.

The mysteries are well worth reading: they are fun!
