Query: Terrible - over long

I read the first 300 pages then gave up completely frustrated at the amount of time I had wasted. I skipped to the last few chapters to find out "who dunit" and even found the ending frustrating. The author has taken character development to the extreme, or even beyond. I was half expecting to come across a chapter about how Lynley cuts his toe nails, and how Havers reads some sort of class difference into this act. In summary don't waste your time reading this book. I have read other books by the same author and have always felt somewhat unsatisfied at the end, but this is by far the worst.
