“Great thriller. JLB has got to be one of the best dialogue writers, he doesn’t hesitate to treat the reader to his southern style.
It is hard hitting and not for the faint hearted.
Number 20 in the excellent Dave Robicheaux series

Score 8/10

Date read July 2015

“A fun and absorbing book. Our group enjoyed this, we gave it 7/10 as did I.
Llewellyn and Cunningham are two characters that will be hard to forget. Not likeable or heroic, but memorable. This is a really good novel. I should score it higher (in retrospect I would give it 8/10)

“A debut novel and the critics all like it, saying it has a fresh voice and unpredictable story. Not for me though.
Girl gets abducted, mother feels bad and lost, Girl tells story as does mother… 4/10

Score 4/10

“His first novel and excellent.
Full of grit and Scottish humour. I met him a few times and he is an excellent speaker.
This is the first of many of his Jack Parlabane novels. Treat yourself and read it.
