Members Reviews:
Straight to the top of your TBR pile now! Thriller set in Texarkana and Hot Springs USA
If you thought The Dark Inside was a one hit wonder, fear not, as the BNF, the initials of the novel actually stand for (Rod Reynolds â sharp writing, a setting you never forget and heart pumping tension?) Bl**dy Never Fails
If I wasnât sweating at the start of the novel with the Arkansas sun beating on my back, then by a few pages in I was. Returning to a place youâre afraid of, no one there to meet you. Jesus I would have left then, but Charlie is compelled to answer the call for help and so goes right ahead.
Welcome back to Texarkana and to that little town of Hot Springs. Where the line in the dusty country roads between the law and the lawless is so blurred, youâve be forgiven there was even a line to start with. From the very first page, as Charlieâs plane starts its descent into Arkansas, the heat of fear, foreboding and danger smacks you in the face and knocks you for six.
Dead man walking? That was my first thought. This book starts where the first one left off â Iâd been holding my breath and then BAM this second wind comes fast. I felt sick as I realised what Charlie was getting into, nervous and yet excited al the same â now thatâs a sign of a character whoâs more than made his mark.
Now, this book is a sequel and for the full impact should be read as one really. Itâs like a powder keg going off and well, whereâs the fun in that if you haven't seen the spark being lit?
The old school noir is back â yes sir â and I ainât gonna tell you again â and the âgangâ from last time have certainly not let the grass grow from under them. People have been busy, people have been talking
Charlie now has more than a point to prove, more than one story to get straight but the threads of the case are wound so tightly you wonder how on earth heâs ever going to get there, or even if he will. Imagine a fly in a spiderâs web getting closer and closer but no sign of that spider. Then Blackness.
This is not just how Charlie is in this novel, but how I felt. Itâs a pacey read, a journey to the truth with as many blind alleys and side streets along the way that you feel dizzily excited youâre onto something.
The setting, the visceral landscape and the pitch perfect language used to describe it â everything draws you right into the time, story and characters.
The pace never lets up and itâs one slap surprise in the face after the other.Visit the map of locations at thebooktrail.com and see Rod's travel tips to Texarkana (try saying that fast!)
Perfect Noir - gritty, tense and dramatic - a great read!
Like book 1 in the series (THE DARK INSIDE) I found BLACK NIGHT FALLING another unputdownable read.
