5.0 out of 5 stars
Best ever Faraday book, enough said,
By
This review is from: Happy Days (Di Joe Faraday) (Hardcover)
i've loved the Faraday books but after the ending of the previous book, i wondered where the series could go and if Graham Hurley would be able to carry it off. I need not have worried. in my opinion this is actually the best book in an excellent series. i won't mention the plot (no spoiler alert needed!) but suffice to say i read it in two days and could not wait to get back to reading it; i read it slowly towards the end to savour it. A brilliant plot that pulls a lot of threads together and lots of characters from previous books appear. i highly recommend it. Brilliant!

Nemesis,

This review is from: Happy Days (Di Joe Faraday) (Hardcover)
Happy Days is the last in the Faraday and Winter series, with a subtitle "The reckoning awaits". In this book, as Mackenzie and Winter both try to control circumstances to their advantage, each character's flaws grow more apparent and moral ambiguities become greater as they both use their wits and cunning to achieve their own goals and ends.As this is the last book in the series, we expect some kind of resolution. Is Mackenzie now really untouchable? Can the Machiavellian Kinder turn Mackenzie from local criminal into a politician? Will the financial pressures of the recession finally hit home? And what of Winter- will he really be Mackenzie's undoing? I won't give the plot and the ending away, but say that even after 11 previous books, this one still has great atmosphere, bold characters, excellent pace and intricate plotting with twists and turns that just keep coming - some very left field and completely unexpected as well as behaviour that occasionally seems out of character. It's a really good read and I found myself turning the pages more and more quickly to get to the reckoning. At one point I almost screamed "No - why did you do that? He's not that stupid!" When I finished and put the book down, it did leave me wondering what justice really is - I say no more. Although Faraday and Winter are now off the scene, there is good news for Hurley fans. Jimmy Suttle is moving to the West Country for a fresh start in a new series of books - Western Approaches, here we come!!

A great series,
By
This review is from: Happy Days (Di Joe Faraday) (Hardcover)
And so ends the Faraday/Winter series of crime novels (twelve in all). For me Paul Winter has always been the more compelling character although it is the strong contrast between him and Faraday (and Jimmy Suttle in this last novel) that has been the driving force in each story. Bazza Mackenzie has contributed to the mix as well. The death of Faraday at the end of the last novel signalled that the series was nearing closure. Happy Days achieves this in spades. Graham Hurley's writing, plot and characterisation are as strong as ever; and he leaves the future open as the 'baton' is passed to D/S Suttle. I look forward to the next novel with much anticipation. Its a pity Graham Hurley doesn't have a much higher profile in the UK.
