A well-written if conventional tale which ticks all the boxes
We're lucky enough to have progressed to a point socially where I'm able to say there's nothing particularly innovative about My Policeman: its tale of sexual repression in a bygone era has been told before in other novels, and indeed television and film. This does have the effect of diluting its potency somewhat, although it goes without saying that its message remains poignant and one that bears repeating, even (especially?) in these superficially more enlightened times. But while nothing unexpected may happen in the novel, what we get is still very effectively rendered by the author - you will be invested in all three of the main characters well before the story ends. The way the book is structured is an overused literary conceit (the story being told from two of the main characters' points of view, both of them in writing, one in a journal and the other in memoirs, both of which just happen to be written like novels) but if you can get past that you should be fine. Although this also means we are deprived any first-person insight into the character at the centre of the love triangle, which is a shame, but at the same time largely the point: the novel is about the effect he has on the other characters and the way this ultimately impacts on all their lives.Solid overall and very easy to read - and crying out for a TV adaption a la 'The Man in the Orange Shirt'.
