This book had good reviews elsewhere but have to admit that I thought it was just okay. Is the story of one night in England and the things that happen to some of the police (bobbies) there. Story line was good but used British colloquialisms so much that at times I found it difficult to really follow and would lose some of the storylines. Only recommend for those who like police procedurals who know a lot of slang from England. Not memorable for me at all.
