Just read Ben Elton's PAST MORTEM - and I like Elton's earlier novels - and it is without doubt the worst 'mystery' novel I've ever read. 100s of pages thinking 'nah, it can't be X, that's obvious to the point of idiocy' - then it is X in the end. Luckily since there's no other suspects really.

There is NO chance this book is ever being published if it hadn't had Elton's name on it - and since I know he can write and plot, I can't help but wonder why he thought it acceptable to chuck out so bad a novel.
