review 1: This was one dark trip into the mind of Allan Guthrie. He has penned another outstanding book that details the mind of a psycho. It is no wonder Guthrie is the King of Psycho Noir. No need to rehash the plot, but the plot will have you speeding through this book at the pace of a bullet flying from a gun. I have been waiting for this book to be released in the US and next time he publishes a book I will be visiting Amazon UK to avoid the wait. Guthrie clearly raises the bar for all the leading and unknown noir authors with this book. This is hard edged noir at its best and you would be wise to disregard reviews from the weakhearted. Buy a copy and enjoy.
review 2: Loved the wtf? ending - the author leaves it up to us to interpret a few things, but one thing is f... moreor sure - at the end, the main character is crazy! It was a little hard to imagine that he would go so ape-shit over the few things that happened to him - but then again, he was 22 and a prison guard, so it might not take much. If the author had gone into a little more depth about his immaturity, youth & possible instability in the first half of the book, then it would have been more realistic. That said - this was an interesting read. less
