Divorcing Jack |
Fast-moving, fast-talking thriller set in a desperate Northern Irish landscape of betrayal, routine murder and bribery. The main character is an alcoholic reporter (surprise, surprise..) who enjoys a full range of human frailties and who, for the most part, I found frustrating and irritating. For a thriller I thought the 'How?' was fairly weak but where it really scored was the 'Why?' and it was this that kept me reading to the wee small hours. (Clive Yelf - bwl 27 December 2004) |
