4.0 out of 5 stars
More Maitland, please,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Spider Trap (Brock and Kolla Mysteries) (Paperback)
Maitland continues to write excellent mysteries. I started to read the series some years ago, but few of the books were available in the US. The original series was Brock and Cathy (his last name and her first name--just a tiny bit sexist) but they are more equal now, and better balanced as team mates. Wonderfully detailed atmospherics let you really feel like you've gotten to know the neighborhood setting.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Good plot, but someone please fix the typos!,
This review is from: Spider Trap: A Brock and Kolla Mystery (Brock and Kolla Mysteries) (Kindle Edition)
Interesting setting and a bit of history about the Brixton riots in 1981. Brock and Kolla are convincing bothin the way they do their detective jobs and the way they often use work to avoid thinking too much or feeling too much in their private lives. I've read almost all of Matiland's mysteries and I like them (obviously) very much, but the last two I've read on Kindle have had so many formatting and other errors they have nearly made me stop reading to protest. In this book, every single time the writer uses the word I'll, it appears as I'llTil. And in other words with I', there's an upper case T after the apostrophe. In addition to this, dialogue lines which should start on separate lines run together, so you aren't sure who's talking. And there are sentences without periods at the end, words of pure gibberish and some of the common variety of typos that editing should catch. Surely, a major publisher would and should edit/check? On Kindle, it's still possible to go in and fix this stuff, so maybe the publisher will see this and fix these things.
