Murder Never Retires by Faith Martin

I read the 1st book in this series —Murder on the Oxford Canal (2004) — and got pissed off with Faith Martin, the author.

I was turned off by the barrage of (mostly negative) comments about the looks of the female characters.

Trying again, I jumped to more recent books:

  • Murder Never Retires (2012)
  • Murder of a Lover (2013) … a sequel

The super star of the book series is Detective Inspector (DI) Hillary Greene.

Though she’s the best investigator by far anywhere near Oxford, England — I’m irked by Hillary’s ego.

Just like the author.

There’s still far too much criticism of the looks and weight of characters in the book, both women and men now.
