"Free" was still too high a price as I'll never get back the time I lost reading this book.Heaven knows I love humor, and funny books. But Dover grates on my nerves like fingernails on a blackboard.

Dover is just plain sickeningly incompetent, with no redeeming qualities at all, unlike Dalziel of the wonderful Reginald Hill series.
