4.0 out of 5 stars So You Want to be a Boxer?, 25 Nov 2008
By Sam "samueltyler" (Reading, Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Night Work (Paperback)
Steve Hamilton is an exponent of some of the best modern crime noir around. 'Night Watch' is a prime example of this as Probation Officer Joe Trumball must clear his name after being accused of murder. Joe is a boxer, investigator, lover of jazz and widower. This makes him the perfect crime noir hero as his demons dominate his life! In the hands of a lesser author the list of Joe's attributes would be so cliché ridden as to make the book redundant. Luckily, Hamilton does deal in clichés, but he is the type of author who knows why they are clichés in the first place - because they are so good!

I really enjoyed 'Night Work' as it slowly builds up a dark and disturbing story. The way in which Joe's life seems to be improving only for it to crumble is brilliantly set up. The writing is pitch perfect and the characters fleshed out fully. The only misgiving I have is that I was able to work out the killer too early as the book did follow one or two crime noir clichés a little too closely. Despite this I would certainly recommend anyone looking for a great book in the crime genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars one more stunning narration from dick hill, 15 Oct 2007
By Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Night Work (Audio CD)


Looks can be deceiving, and so can feelings. Joe Trumbull learned this lesson not just the hard way but in a way that was almost fatal. To date, life hasn't been good to him. He's a juvenile probation officer in Kingston, New York. Some of the kids are petty offenders, others could be classified as hard-boiled criminals. So, we'd assume Joe was a pretty savvy guy. Perhaps so, but his mind is also clouded by tragedy.

It was two years ago that he was looking forward to marrying Laurel. Then, on the night of his bachelor party she was strangled. Since then Joe has turned inward, retreated, doing his job and working out at the gym. But now he thinks that just maybe he's ready to make a better kind of life for himself, so he goes out on a blind date. Surprisingly to him the evening went well. Shocking to him was the murder of his date later that same evening.

As other women are killed, women who had some contact with Joe, the police zero in on him as suspect No. 1. It seems the only way he can clear himself is to find the psychotic killer who is intent upon destroying him.

Edgar and Shamus winner Steve Hamilton has crafted a suspenseful tale, which is read by another winner - Dick Hill. Named a Golden Voice and a Voice of the Century by Audiophile magazine, Hill delivers one more stunning narration.

- Gail Cooke
