Darkness and Light

Published by admin on November 2, 2007 under Fiction

A good read. Harvey has a way of binding you to the story. Always a good sign when you look forward to picking up the book the next day. Also has the ability to let you skim sub-plots that you are not interested in. For instance, Elder, the main character, has a strained relationship with his daughter, Katherine. This does provide insight into the characters, but it really doesn’t interest me.

Ash & Bone

This was the first John Harvey book that I read. Since I pulled it off the shelf at random, I noticed it had a positive blurb from Elmore Leonard. I have had problems connecting with other British writers, so I was a bit leery. Overall, I liked his writing style, though some of the back story seemed a bit too in depth. Looking forward to reading more by this author.

Not bad. I found the ending to be a bit weak, but that is often times the case in the detective genre.
