Reading Room X - Crossover Stories - Crazy After all These Years, by LilyK

[anna060957.livejournal.com]

Advance apologies if the cut doesn't work - this is my first post and I'm working on Aussie time just in case it all goes pear-shaped!!

This is a crossover with the Judge John Deed series and is set in the present time. In this TV series the lead role of John Deed is played by Martin Shaw.

I adore the Judge John Deed series not only for the purposes of drooling over the main character (despite being a Bodie-girl, MS really has aged well!), but also for the depth of research, examination into and exploration of the circumstances surrounding crime and justice. This crossover is not bogged down by any of that! Don’t try to rationalise this caper, don’t try to make any interpretation of how and why – you just have to enjoy it – or not as the case may be.

Having read the first of this Crossover Reading Room “Contretemps” (and loved it), “Still Crazy After All These Years” is at the exact opposite end of the scale!
