[.ca] Fallen Gods (ISBN 075530151X)

A solid addition to the series!:
I really like the Bob Skinner series by Quintin Jardine. Fallen Gods is a worthy addition to the series, but there were too many plot lines to allow for the comprehensive development and depth of any one of them. In this book, it seemed like Jardine was just touching upon each of his characters because he felt he had too. Fallen Gods lacked the depth of some of his earlier books in the series. If he had concentrated on the arson, or the murder(s) instead of weaving in and out of these various plot lines, the suspense and the character development would have been better. And one does wonder why Bob Skinner stays with his wife Sarah. Whenever the going gets rough, she has an affair and he forgives her each time. He is such a strong, well-defined character and deserves an equally strong partner.
