In the middle of the fourth book in the Sharpe series,
Sharpe's Trafalgar, our hero murders a man who threatens to tell a cuckolded husband of Sharpe's affair with the cuckold's wife. Notwithstanding that the victim was seeking to use the threat to have his own way with the adulteress, I concluded that Sharpe is not a man I want to spend any more time with and put the book down.
Stay away from 2 Samuel, too. That David guy is a real schmuck.
ReplyDeleteBen, I can't see Mr. Sharpe writing something like Psalm 51. But if those who have read the entire Sharpe series disagree, then I will certainly pick up the book again. (I'm flattered you look at the blog now and then!)
ReplyDeleteI would also add that David's criminal act was far more serious than that of Mr. Sharpe.
