The Last Temptation


Speaking of Val McDermid . . . Seriously, McDermid?! You finally have Tony Hill and Carol Jordan have sex and it happens offstage?! Half-observed by some thugs on a stakeout? Are you kidding me? (By the way, now is as good a time as any to point out how sharply the TV series and the books have diverged: On TV, Carol Jordan has moved away while Tony continues to work on cases with a new inspector. On TV, Paula is still alive. On TV, Tony's virility (or lack thereof) is not really addressed. (Robson Green, are you trying to add a hint of impotence to your very, very good performance?))
