I read this knowing I’d meet up and introduce the author at an event. A well constructed and page turning thriller. I liked its broodiness and it captures Dublin nicely. I’d read more by him 5/10

“British crime, the tale alternates between our protagonist as a boy in Northern Ireland and now in Kent. Secrets and murder.
It hangs together pretty well. The ending might have got a tad out of hand, but I enjoyed it well enough. 7/10

“Leonard has written tons of books (over 40) of which some have made it to Hollywood such as Rum Punch, Get Shorty. I can’t recall reading his novels so have travelled back to 1985 to read Glitz (yes a charity shop purchase!)
No doubt he’s a good writer and I like his very typical Chandleresque American thriller/detective style.
As for the novel I’ve forgotten it within a few pages of starting another book, but it’s the pleasure of being immersed in a book for the moment of entertainment why I liked it.
