What A Whopper!,
By Paul D Brazill (Bydgoszcz, Poland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Best British Crime (Mammoth Books) (Paperback)
The Mammoth Book of Best British Crime Seven - Editor: Maxim Jakubowski
Okay, so I'll say first up that I'm going to have a story in The Mammoth Book of Best British Crime EIGHT -the NEXT one in the series, which will be out in March 2011 - so I would say this book is good, wouldn't I? But it is. It's whopper, with thirty-eight stories from all sorts of crime writing big shots such as Val McDermid, Colin Dexter. John Harvey and Alexander McCall Smith.A veritable cornucopia of crimes! I'd read a couple of the stories before and of course I liked some more than others but I'll pick out a few favourites for your delectation. 'Ghost' by John Harvey is a very nicely told and gritty London based P.I. story. 'The Blood Pearl' by Barry Mailtand is a tense, pulpy tale of adventure and betrayal. 'Bloodsport' by Tom Cain is a short, sharp, shock of a thriller story. 'Enough Of This Already' is Tony Black writing in American with a touch of Heathers about it. Steve Mosby's 'Fruits' is a chilling piece of modern Gothic. Brian McGilloway's 'The Rat In The Attic' is a modern morality tale. Kevin Wignall's 'A PLace For Violence' is cracking slice of harboiled life. Adrian Magson's 'Special Delivery is a classic and classy twister. Alan Guthrie's 'Freckles' is harsh and sad, small town noir. Sophie Hannah's 'The Octopus Nest' and Ken Bruen's 'The Time Of The Green' are just brilliant. And there are loads more, of course. Lots of different flavours to nibble on. Dip in and dip out. I read it from front to back but I'm like that. Most of the writers involved were new to me so it definitely works well as a calling card.
