Could do better 16 Sep 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
The storyline itself is good; well developed and potentially gripping. However, it is let down by clunky dialogue and little in the way of character development. I ended up really not knowing much at all about most of the characters and caring even less. On a number of occasions I almost abandoned the book feeling somewhat irritated by the poor writing. I think perhaps the author needs to engage a better editor to tighten things up a little.

Disappointing!

Seat Belts Required 25 Feb 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Right from the start, you know Seumas Gallacher means business! This book is not for the faint hearted. The Violin Man's Legacy is a fast paced, no nonsense thriller which has all the ingredients you could possibly want from an action story. No complicated plot here. The main character - ex SAS man Jack Calder - is instantly likeable and you get to know more about him and his formative years quickly, described with surprising gentleness given the tough introduction.

In a James Bond style plot, the action doesn't let up for a moment. There are plenty of merciless executions, jetting around the globe on the trail of the villains - marvellous scenery descriptions particularly of Hong Kong - and of course there is time for a bit of passion too.

This was a very satisfying first book. I look forward to the next one!

Great read. 31 July 2011

This is an great story with lots of suspense and enough violence and sex to give it a little pizazz. The author obviously knows his places where the action takes place very well. I hope to see more for Gallacher!

I don't know how this book's rating is so high. (Over four from circa 40 reviews at the time of writing.) Although I did finish it, I was far from thrilled. Read more

Dreadful writing
This is an amateurish, poorly written novel. Possibly a good plot, but all attempts to read this book were dashed by the banal prose and dialogue. Read more
