This review is from: Head Shot (Bob Skinner Mysteries) (Paperback)
I picked up this book used due to the praise for the other books in the series. I gave up about a third of the way through because so much of it involved people within the Scottish police community whom I didn't know and especially the politics involved in the bureaucracy. The mystery Bob Skinner is solving is intriguing but too little of the book is about that. In addition, much is about the various agencies of police in three different locales (plus the FBI) fighting over jurisdiction. That has been done to death in every police procedural and is a bit old by this time. Also, the non-American English put into Americans' mouths grates after a while. If a non-American is attempting to use slang, please get it right. If you know all the characters from the previous 11 novels, you might like it better than I did.
