Is the honeymoon over for Oz Blackstone? August 17, 2007
D. M. Bennett (Aberdeen, Scotland)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The next in the Oz Blackstone series sees Oz and his new wife Primavera return to a small village in Spain, where they had previously separated, for their honeymoon. Right from the outset this is a plan which seems doomed to failure and predictably this is what happens. The places described are curiously similar to those in Jardine's other main line of books about Bob Skinner. The storyline is engaging and the plot does thicken as the book progresses. This book seems to be weaker than previous Blackstone mysteries however and I wonder if the honeymoon for this character is truly over.

I suppose you could say that the characterization in this book is good, as I absolutely HATED Oz Blackstone by the end of Chapter Two. Collosal self-regard seems to sum him up. I felt that the author's portrayal of Primavera, Oz's wife,was patronisingly mysogynous. The writing style is dated & pretentious: after, after Ian Fleming. I got bored with the old hat, ludicrously convoluted plot very early on, read the last page & threw the book in the bin, to join the 2 previous novels by this guy. Basically 'writing by numbers'. Sorry! not for me.

I am a great fan of jardines books and to me is the crime fiction writer in the world this book still lives up to these expections. As it has an intricately woven plot set in the beautiful landscape of l'escala the characters are entermested in a web of deception.
one of his best books if you enjoy it read the rest. It is a wonder why the autor quintin Jardine isn't better known.
