Format:Mass Market Paperback
John Harvey's Resnick novels have garnered much praise, so it's strange to say the least that he isn't perhaps as well-known as the likes of Ian Rankin et all. Thankfully that may change has Harvey has notched up a major Crime Writers Award (CWA) award in recent times - but ironically not for a Resnick novel.
Now's The Time contains all the Resnick short stories, and gives the reader the opportunity to know more about some of the minor characters that populated the novels. What's really impressive is the way that Harvey takes the short story format and makes them all compelling, entertaining and satisfying. Unlike many novelists whose efforts at short stories seem somewhat disappointing - Harvey's are fantastic. Maybe it has something to do with also being a poet - but there are no wasted words here; and every story is worth reading. A fine collection.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Resnick is a detective with faults we can all recognise but above all you know he is honest and depite set backs he will continue doing what hes best at.. detecting. \i have every one of the Resnick novels and can reccomend them to anyone. The story line is not predictable so that one has to keep reading until the book is finished,
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Superb, just the job for bedtime reading - one story each evening and if you fall asleep then finish it in the morning. You can't get enough of John Harvey he fits in with the best.
