International Mystery & Crime Editorial Review
The Critic - The Enzo Files 2 "The Critic" is the second installment in the Enzo Files series written by Peter May. While some readers found this book to be an enjoyable read, others found it to be clichéd, trite, sexist, and overall unsatisfying. The story revolves around Enzo Macleod, a brilliant yet impulsive detective who finds himself investigating the death of wine critic Gil Petty. The plot incorporates elements of wine tasting, adding an interesting twist to the mystery. One positive aspect of the novel is the in-depth research done by the author, Peter May, regarding wine. Readers who have an appreciation for wine found it enjoyable to learn about the finer points of wine tasting and the pleasure of drinking it. Additionally, the plot is described as classic and engaging, with readers claiming that they were unable to put the book down. On the other hand, many readers expressed dissatisfaction with the overall quality of the book. Some found the characters, particularly Enzo Macleod, to be portrayed in a clichéd and sexist manner. The book was also criticized for being trite and predictable, lacking originality and depth. In summary, "The Critic" receives mixed reviews in terms of customer experience and reception. While some readers appreciated the research and engaging plot, others were left disappointed by the clichéd characters and lack of originality.
