Rated 4 starsHER CHAPTER TITLES ARE KIND OF "PUNNY"
The base plot of __ GONE TOMORROW __ is almost generic. A group of dedicated policemen (and women) have multiple murders to solve. At first there seem to be no clues and no motives for the killings. There are no witnesses to anything, at least no witnesses who are willing to talk to the police. Anyone who might know anything seems to be frightened almost "out of his or her wits." As is often the case in Police Fiction,...

Rated 4 starsnot as bad as it was made out to be
This is my first bill slider mystery. Without having been prejudiced by other bill slider books, I enjoyed this one immensely. I agree that the ending is a bit rushed and can be improved upon.

The Head has changed several times but this one despite his fractured sayings is a good egg who gives support when needed. Joanna is on the fringes (working in Amsterdam) but delivers a really good up ending for Bill ditto Atherton's own ending in this one (perhaps a bit to much coincidence...

Rated 5 starsStrong police procedural
In London, the Hammersmith Park attendant discovered the male adult corpse sitting on a children's swing. The police arrive on the scene led by Detective Inspector Bill Slider. The cops have little to go on, as the victim is unknown with apparently no identification on him. The discernible deathblow is a single stab wound to the heart. The killer searched the victim, but left behind a substantial amount of cash. Bill...
