> Anyone heard of or read a new novel titled Bloody
London by Reggie Nadelson?
And here's *my* review for crimetime et al........
"Bloody London" Reggie Nadleson Published Faber and Faber Pkb
9.99
Don't, as I have often said, judge a book by its cover. In
this case it's a puke pink job which is pretty scary. However
it quickly becomes apparent that this is a class act.
It is extremely well written - despite a dodgy opening which
is worth putting behind you quickly (a bit like the cover
really) - and has a nicely convoluted plot with a good host
of characters to keep things ticking over. The New York
setting is wonderfully realised and the first half of the
book is the better for it. The action shifts to London in the
second half which gives rise to some fairly
`off-the-wall' stuff such as "London's big. Planet London"
but by this point you are hooked.
This is the first time I've come across PI Artie Cohen. There
are two earlier books which I for one will be checking
out.
