Customer Reviews

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 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.
