Review: Too Much Detail

I really liked the first John Bude I read and was glad to order this one. I liked it and I wish I could have given it a 3 1/2 stars. I like Inspector Meredith and his determination to find the truth of how the crime took place. And . . . there is just too much detail in his plodding police work. I am sure it happens like this in real life and this is a book. Descriptions of truck routes and methods of delivery go on and on as Meredith works through one theory and then another and another until he and his Superintendent finally hit upon the correct theory. I understand John Bude has written more mysteries and so I will look into them. He wrote well and easily. This one was just too convoluted for me.
