Crime fiction

Sometimes you hear about a book, play, author, film and everything you hear seems to suggest that its not only good, but its right up your metaphoric street. That was what I was expecting when I finally got around to buying Manuel Vazquez Montalban's Murder in the Central Committee. Not only had he been heralded by positive reviews and inclusion in various recommendatory lists but I really get into good quality crime fiction, and what's more love Spain and a few Spanish authors... But I just didn't get into this one even after semi-struggling through to the end. Time to find someone new to try out!
