Nick Reid

review 1: Deserves less. Disappointing. First two were fun but this is just one gratuitous brawl after another with no apparent point except to waste time. Does not even Heighten suspense. Also author had to slip in a view anti conservative jibes just to maintain his holly wood script writer creds I guess. Jacket compares Gavin to Haiison but Gavin's plots are not as good. Situational farce is the same and local color characters are too. He is also less raunchy than Haiison which I do appreciate.
review 2: This novel is the third Nick Reid offering by Rick Gavin, novelist T. R. Pearson’s alter ego, and in it we are navigating familiar territory with characters who feel as comfortable (and charmingly off-putting) as any you’ll encounter in any crime series. Nick, D... moreesmond, and their usual assortment of marginally skilled petty criminals traverse the Mississippi Delta countryside in pursuit of a meth lord who has skated from a prison work detail and is determined to exact his revenge on Nick, Desmond, and the others who busted up his operation. The dark humor is both ribald and sly, as Gavin once again maintains a pitch-perfect tone in offering an honest assessment of the local color without being mean-spirited or snide. The dialogue feels authentic and measured, and when coupled with Nick’s somewhat world-weary first-person narrative assessment of their ongoing predicament, the end-result is a highly entertaining (and calamitous) foray into the nether regions of the American social landscape. And then there's Barbara, the coonhound with a wardrobe of questionable taste. In a word: fun. Have at it. less
