It wasn't the cover that tempted me to read the book - it's a rather vile, yellowy-brown with a line drawing of two middle-aged men in bowler hats. It wasn't the title either - "Arthur and George" hardly sets the pulses racing, does it? It was the hot weather, unwillingness to walk to the library and this being the only book waiting to be read.
If you enjoy this type of book with intercut narrative, you might also enjoy [[The Conjurer's Bird]] by Martin Davies which is a more light-weight read, but we'd recommend that you avoid [[The Athenian Murders]] by Jose Carlos Somoza.
