Liver Birds
This was a 'good' read with insights into the changing face of Liverpool, city of culture.
Harry Devlin finds that a premature obituary of his death on Mid-summer's eve cannot be brushed away or treated as a prank. Who sent the note and leaves menacing messages on his answer phone? As well as the worrying countdown to mid-summer's eve is the fact that he comes under the police spotlight for a series of killings of prostitutes. Too much is happening to people around him and Harry is compelled to investigate these crimes much against his will and at the cost of his personal safety.
A throughly enjoyable story which is well-told and maintains its suspense levels throughout.

Run of the mill
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
Middle aged men (sorry, not being ageist and sexist!) like the central character. And who want young/glamorous/clever women falling for them like they did for Harry.
Has Waterloo Sunset put you off other books in this genre?
Yes, I won't be reading any more by this author. There was no feeling for Liverpool or its people - change a few names and it could be set anywhere.
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Gordon Griffin?
Someone who does more than RP and dreadful scouse/generic northerner accents. There is a wide range of professional class Liverpool accents.
Any additional comments?
Terribly cliched, in plot, characters and turns of phase ("a voice as sharp as a chainsaw"). Ludicrous Grand Guignol climax.
