review 1: I read the first book in this series some time ago; long enough to feel that The Demon Code works as a sequel or as a standalone novel. This is a stylised action thriller featuring an ex cop, ex mercenary, a security guard and a fanatical religious sect. If you're looking for a real life crime novel I guess you could point out it stretches credibility. That fact suits me. I like tense, tightly driven, entertaining plots but feel no desire to be terrified in my bedtime reading. I prefer a touch of fantasy. This fits the bill. It's well researched without being tedious in detail and both the characterisation and the writing style is very strong. There is clear mystery and tension in the plot line, a couple of twists and a quiet self conscious humour (which reminded me of so... moreme of Adam Blake's other books -under his other name). This is a genre novel: it labels that pretty clearly on the blurb: it doesn't try to solve the world's problems but it kept me engaged, touched on some interesting ironies and developed characters Well.. heather Kennedy, Leo Tillman and Diema were all intruiging in their own way whilst Leicester was a suitable place to dump Izzy for most of the novel. Action was fast paced and I felt both cheated and relieved by the resolution, which on balance is probably a good thing.
review 2: Une découverte intéressante. Un enquête policière sous fond de secte religieuse mystérieuse. L'histoire est bien fait sans être très original, les personnages sont également intéressants et tout de même assez origininaux et la fin est bonne et laisse place à une éventuelle suite. Par contre, tout manque d'un petit quelque chose, qui ferait passer ce livre de bon à excellent. Les personnages manquent de ce petit quelque chose et l'intrigue également. Bref, un roman intéressant, qui divertit, mais nous vous coupera probablement pas le souffle. Je relierai certainement cet auteur un jour. less
