Product Description
Product Description
James is just winding down his moribund `detective` business when he recieves an offer he cannot refuse. Solving the case of who has put Johnny Johnson in Intensive Care. James accepts for two reasons. Firstly; you don`t turn down paid work. Secondly; James has to make sure the case is never solved or at least that the truth is never revealed. In a tangled web of power, corruption and lies, James has to protect himself, those around him and find a solution to suit everybody. Preferably before Johnny Johnson regains consciousness.His friends offer levity and obstacles in equal measure and his love life is becoming a joke. Immersed in an ever more seedy and secretive enviroment,James discovers that there are more than just skeletons in the closet.

humorous debut novel lacking polish,
This review is from: The Nature of the Beast (Paperback)
I found this debut novel slightly humorous but thought the narrative was unevenly paced with characters which were almost northern stereotypes. The book could have used the services of a good editor or proof reader as unfortunately, it was replete with spelling and grammatical mistakes which I found distracting. The writer overused similes and metaphors and I found some of the prose stilted. Overall, I thought it was a good effort for a first novel and I liked the humour but it needed polishing.

Good read from first time author,
By
This review is from: The Nature of the Beast (Paperback)
Really enjoyed this book - fantastic for a first time effort. Good plotline in which the characters are 3 dimensional and believable, and there are some truly laugh out loud moments along the way. Bring on the next one a.s.a.p.

Great Debut,
By
This review is from: The Nature of the Beast (Paperback)
Energetic, brash and peppered with bleak humour; this book contains a fascinating mixture of indignation, jaundice and optimism. Great characters, the extraordinary made real. This is an enthralling debut from an author with great promise and an original voice.
