5.0 out of 5 stars A star is born! 29 Jan 2011
By D. Thomson
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having read and enjoyed The Hanging Shed, I went back to read the author's earlier novels. This is the first Danny Macrae story and what a cracker it is. Gripping and compelling from the very first page..wonderfully drawn characters set against the background of immediate post war London and a plot that will keep you clicking the 'Next Page' button until the early hours.
I'm now about to read the follow up, The Unquiet Heart, which will no doubt be equally enjoyable.
My only query is..where on earth has Gordon Ferris been hiding all these years? As a storyteller he is up there with the best and in Danny Macrae and Brodie (from The Hanging Shed) he has created two superb characters who can certainly live on through many more books.
Not to be missed and at the Kindle price, an absolute bargain.

4.0 out of 5 stars You won't be able to put it down 27 Aug 2007
By P. J. Rice
Format:Paperback
Do you enjoy reading thrillers? Can your bed time reading keep up with the twists and turns of a complex plot and simultaneously appreciate well-developed characters and attention to historical detail? Then maybe this novel is for you. Set in the gloom of post war London the damaged mind of Danny McRae struggles with demons from the war while trying to make sense of the complications of the peace. Will he succeed or is he doomed ..and can he really make a living as a private detective? Read the book and discover for yourself ... but save it for a quiet evening because you won't be able to put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1945 Period Novel Noir Written in Searing Colour! 2 Sep 2007
By D. K. Henderson
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a gripping and intelligently written first novel. Ferris mixes a pacey intertwined plot with great characterisation and evocative descriptions of the grey, uncertain, haphazard London immediately after World War II. He changes pace very well, and applies some very sharp dialogue in his character development. The baddies are pretty bad, the goodies suffer a lot of fear, doubt and uncertainty before their goodness starts to shine through. Altogether, a very potent and addictive cocktail - I can't wait for the next one!
