Who would kill a charming antiques expert Rowland Egerton, the darling of daytime TV? Bill Slider and his team are on the case . . . ‘It’s quiet out there,’ says DS Atherton, at Bill Slider’s office window. ‘Too quiet.’ Right on cue, the phone rings. ‘Now look what you’ve done,’ says Slider. It’s a homicide. The post-Christmas lull is officially over.The deceased is antiques expert Rowland Egerton, the darling of daytime TV, stabbed to death in his luxurious West London home. The press are going to be all over this one like a nasty rash: the pressure’s on Slider for a result, and soon. Egerton’s partner, the bulky, granite-faced John Lavender, found the body; did he also do the deed? Or was it a burglary gone wrong? A missing Fabergé box and Impressionist painting point that way. But as Slider and his team investigate, none of the facts seem to fit. And it soon becomes clear that the much-loved, charming Mr Egerton wasn’t as universally loved, or perhaps as charming, as Slider was first led to believe . . .

Lesley As soon as you begin reading this novel it is obvious there have been previous books. Regardless of that, this novel can definitely be read as a stand-alone book. Sometimes an author doesn't do a very good job of giving new readers enough information to make them comfortable with character run-over from previous books but that definitely was not the case for me with this story. In fact, one of the first things I became comfortable with was how well established the relationships are with all the policemen working in the Shepherd's Bush station. Detective Inspector Bill Slider interacts with his superior officer and the members of his investigation team as if they are a well-oiled working team, taking advantage of the strength and being aware of the weakness of each member. Now they have been handed a murder investigation which involves the death of a popular television personality. The Beebs will not be pleased to have any negative publicity tarnishing its image with this real life drama. The team needs to solve this murder soon, if not sooner. As Superintendent Porson so succinctly puts it, "The early bird gathers no moss. Get on with it."Not only was this a good reading experience for me from the standpoint of the development of the mystery and everything involved in solving it, it was also quite interesting to discover this team of investigators and to get to know them as individual people. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I have already put Hard Going (A Bill Slider Mystery) on my Kindle and am considering ordering the print omnibus of the first three novels in the series. I like the low key humor in the novel and the way Porson mangles the sayings he's always throwing around in his conversations. The chapter titles are interesting, but something that can be easily ignored if you think they are too cutesy. I find myself having to go back after I finish reading the chapter to look up what the title was in order to figure out what it means. Often I am not interested enough to bother. So, humor to be taken as far as you personally want to take it or left alone if it doesn't interest you. At least the humor isn't allowed to interfere with the actual police investigation work. In my opinion, that's a good decision by the author.I received an ARC of this novel through NetGalley.

Well-written British procedural By CJ-MO Bill Slider and his team have been enjoying a lull in their work, but their newest homicide case is going to be tricky. The victim, Rowland Egerton, is a daytime TV celebrity known for his expertise on antiques. The press and Slider’s superiors want this case solved immediately, so Slider and team are being pressured to close what is proving to be a difficult and complex case.I have read many of the books in this outstanding series. “Star Fall” is not the best in the series, but is still an excellent British procedural. I like the main characters, especially the easy comradery between Slider and DS Atherton. I enjoy seeing Slider on the job with the members of his department, as well as seeing him at home with his family. This outing doesn’t have as much of Slider’s home life, and I think that’s was missing for me and made is less enjoyable that some of the other books in the series.The investigation itself is interesting. In Slider’s latest case, the victim’s life is more complicated that it looks like at the beginning, which makes the case more intriguing. The reader is taken every step of the way as the detectives try to get to the bottom of the murder of a popular celebrity from a television show resembling “Antiques Roadshow”. It was interesting to see the inner workings of the fictional show, as well as seeing how different the victim was in his personal life, as opposed to his public persona.Even this isn’t my favorite installment, readers who follow this series or who enjoy the books of author Deborah Crombie will find “Star Fall” worth reading.I received this book from NetGalley, through the courtesy of Severn House Publishing. The book was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Somewhat boring mid-book spoils latest entry in charming and entertaining Bill Slider series By Jerry Bull “Star” is the 17th and latest in the author’s likable Bill Slider mystery set. Our Detective Inspector runs a police department in Shepherd’s Bush, a London suburb; and most of the stories feature a prominent murder. Herein, an antiques reality show celebrity is found stabbed to death; and the cops are hard up for clues. About the only suspect is the man’s business partner, who actually lived with the TV “star” part-time, when their retail antiques store didn’t require his presence.The story unfolds so slowly, that we were close to being really bored. A side plot of sorts finds Bill’s wife Joanna grieving over a recent miscarriage; and her sensitive hubby almost overdoes his concern – that issue got a tad tiring as well.Toward the very end, as some clues finally picked up and we all start to zero in on the villain, things got much more interesting as the case gets tidied up. The getting there was uncharacteristically plodding – so we would not recommend this latest as one of the better novels in this mostly enjoyable series.
