5.0 out of 5 stars
Great British police procedural...fantastic characters!
The Charlie Resnick mystery series by John Harvey ranks, in my opinion, with John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee and Robert Parker's Spenser. I normally do not like British novels, but have completely been taken with Harvey's characters, especially Charlie Resnick. These books are very realistic from a police standpoint, but are even more so in showing the character's...

Lackluster Effort in the Series
This entry is a little more gimmicky and doesn't quite work as well as its predecessors in the Charlie Resnick series. It centers around a real-life mystery book and film convention in Nottingham, as an American writer of a lesbian series is attacked by feminists and receives threatening letters. Meanwhile, a number of men have been apparently attacked by the prostitute...

Lackluster Effort in the Series,
By A. Ross (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Living Proof (Paperback)
This entry is a little more gimmicky and doesn't quite work as well as its predecessors in the Charlie Resnick series. It centers around a real-life mystery book and film convention in Nottingham, as an American writer of a lesbian series is attacked by feminists and receives threatening letters. Meanwhile, a number of men have been apparently attacked by the prostitute they picked up. Too much attention is given to the convention, which seems kind of hokey somehow, and the prostitute murders aren't particularly satisfying.

By A Customer
This review is from: Living Proof: A Charlie Resnick Novel (Hardcover)
The Charlie Resnick mystery series by John Harvey ranks, in my opinion, with John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee and Robert Parker's Spenser. I normally
do not like British novels, but have completely been taken with Harvey's characters, especially Charlie Resnick. These books are very realistic from
a police standpoint, but are even more so in showing the character's strengths and weaknesses. I have enjoyed all of Harvey's Resnick books (Cold Light,
Living Proof, Cutting Edge, Lonely Hearts and one other that I forget at the moment). I highly recommend this series.
