Product Description
Barney Thomson is back in the seventh and final episode of the crime series that has irrevocably redefined the barbershop death junky novel. Searching for answers to his tortured, murder-filled existence, Barney is drawn to take a job in London, as personal barber to Thomas Bethlehem, the head of an upcoming and trendy marketing agency. Such is Barney's fate, that just as he arrives in the capital, a serial killer by the name of Harlequin Sweetlips begins to run amok among the young, go-getting executives of Bethlehem's company. Suddenly, but entirely predictably, Barney is once again in the middle of a multiple murder investigation. As Satan returns to haunt Barney and to steer him down his final, inevitable path, could it be that Bethlehem's latest client, a wise-cracking New Englander with an easy smile and a handy ability with a thunderbolt, is the man to provide the deliverance that has eluded Barney Thomson for so long?

A cut above,
By Colin Stewart (The Trossachs, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Final Cut (Book 7) (Paperback)
Yet another dark masterpiece from Lindsay. Ridiculously bloody and demonically funny; all you could ask from Barney Thomson. If you have never read a Barney Thomson novel, buy them all and save yourself the trouble of ordering them one by one.

The Final Cut, Douglas Lindsay - Barney Thomson's final(?) reckoning...,
By
This review is from: The Final Cut (Book 7) (Paperback)
It is some years now since I started following the adventures of Barney Thomson - barber extraordinaire, unwitting multiple murderer and general man of destiny to whom weird stuff just keeps happening.
Along the way we've seen him join murderers anonymous, get involved with the resurrection, die and get resurrected himself, and getting involved in the fledgling Scottish Parliament. It's been an excellent, inventive, and entertaining series. It was with regret that I saw that this was to be the final Barney Thomson novel. I picked it up with a little trepidation, hoping that it would go out with a bang, and give my favourite barber the send off he deserves. I was not disappointed. I can't say too much without giving large plot spoilers, but suffice to say that Barney once again finds himself in the vicinity whilst a lot of gory murders are going down. from the start he has a feeling that this will be the last adventure, the final reckoning, and it does indeed seem, that after several 'final' showdowns his peripatetic life of adventures is now over. I couldn't help feeling that the end wasn't quite as final as it might have been however, and the door seems open for a return at a later date. Here's hoping! This is an entertaining read. It shouldn't matter too much if you've not read the preceding novels, but it would help as there are some continuing story threads. Would probably appeal to readers of Christopher Brookmyre, it is a similar style of dark Scottish humour.

Sadly, this is the seventh and last of the Barney Thomson series. Wonderful invention and dark humour. Douglas Lindsay's writing has given me a lot of laughs. Like other fans of Barney Thomson I am sorry to see him go but I am intrigued to see what Douglas Lindsay will produce in the future.
