The Judas Pair by Jonathan Gash

2.0

Loved the TV series as a kid, so was delighted to discover that there were books. And then I realised why no one talks about them anymore... The unrelenting and unrepentant misogyny flowing through the book is almost unbearable to a modern reader. As an artefact of its time this would probably be worth 5*, but it's so hard to ignore its flaws. Which is a shame, because the plotting, writing and overwhelming passion for the antiques trade make it a great read. You just have to ignore every third paragraph... and one of the main plot points...
