The Perfect Murder H R F Keating Books
I should have made note of the number of pages and the reviews before I purchased. I didn't realise that it was part of a "Quick Reads" collection. It definitely is quick: it's 125 pages printed in a large font and with a wide line spacing. It took me 40 minutes. The last 30 pages are an extract from Dead Simple.The plot is trite and the characters one-dimensional. The prose style is odd too. I find it hard to believe that it's written by the author of the Roy Grace series.

The Perfect Murder H R F Keating Books Reviews
Enjoyable read as are most Peter James books
Really like this author
Very disappointed with this book. The story was very simplistic and the book was not very long. It was padded out by extracts of some of his other books. Not good value for money.
Strange story, good for a 1 evening read.
An amusing short story, well-enough written, and good for an hour or so of entertainment
Not edge of the seat thriller like his Roy Grace series, but it is an entertaining, police procedural story, modern day retelling of Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart".
This is, of course, not the story of the "perfect" murder from a criminological perspective, but of the murder of Mr. Perfect.
And the characters - Inspector Ganesh Ghote of the Bombay (now Mumbai) Police, his long suffering yet shrewish wife Pratima, Axel Svenson, the Swedish analyst, the corpulent Lala Heera Lal (brilliantly portrayed in the movie version of the book by the late Amjad Khan), Ghote's bureaucratic boss A.C.P. Samant -- they are all certainly well-characterized portrayals but the real jewel in the crown here is Bombay itself, the city of dreams shimmering in the subcontinental heat, punctuated by torrential monsoon downpours.
Interestingly, H.R.F.Keating had never set foot in Bombay when he wrote "The Perfect murder" but unlike the Africa of Edgar Rice Burroughs, or the Texas of J.T.Edson (other authors who neglected to visit the backdrop of their novels), the Bombay portrayed by Keating pulsates with a realism that lifts this book from the mundane whodunit to a truly classic literary work of the 1960s. And I can say this with perfect certitude because, much like Keating, I too have never visited Bombay, unless you count the time I flew via Sahar (now Chhatrapati Shivaji) International Airport from Madras (now Chennai) to Heathrow (now Heathrow).
I should have made note of the number of pages and the reviews before I purchased. I didn't realise that it was part of a "Quick Reads" collection. It definitely is quick it's 125 pages printed in a large font and with a wide line spacing. It took me 40 minutes. The last 30 pages are an extract from Dead Simple.
