I find him a generally nauseating individual and his other books are awful, but I haven't tried these.

Very diffrrent from his previous work,the current series is similar to Mark Billingham (excellent) DI Thorne series. Although Billinghams lead character is a far darker individual than Parsons main bloke.

Seems like a good opportunity to mention again my own crime series, set in North London. The first book His First Lie is out now - you can actually get the ebook for 99p at the moment - and the second It Was Her is coming out in May.

I’ve seen him a couple of times recently on a Sunday morning in Hampstead coming back from a run.
That’s me running not him
He was walking a small dog and over dressed in the style of that other prissy bloke Martin Freeman.
If I see him this week I will pass on WHO’s good wishes

I like em Billy, not literary masterpieces but enjoyable reads if you like a good crime novel and not too politically correct!
