Product Description

Product Description

No one expects to read their own obituary. Liverpool lawyer Harry Devlin never knew five short lines could be so menacing - someone wants him dead and he has only seven days to find out who. The terse notice of his death is out of place amid the hustle and bustle of Harry's posh office off the Strand, but soon mysterious threats lurk in every familiar corner of Liverpool for the wary lawyer. The city quickly becomes a capital of crime as well as culture, when a mutilated female corpse washes up on the Waterloo Beach and another soon after. A loose serial killer does no good for Harry's already morbidly preoccupied state, but between the elegant coroner Ceri Hussain and the endearing cleaner Gina he finds enough distraction. However, not all distractions in lovely packages are good. Juliet May, ex-wife of gangster Casper May and Harry's former lover, sweeps back into the lawyer's life with unforeseen consequences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will Devlin Meet His Waterloo?, 3 Jun 2008
By Chris High "Chris H" (Wirral, Merseyside,England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Waterloo Sunset (Hardcover)
No one expects to read their own obituary and Devlin never knew five short lines could be so menacing--someone wants him dead and he has only seven days to find out who. The terse notice of his death is out of place amid the hustle and bustle of Harry's posh office off The Strand, but soon mysterious threats lurk in every familiar corner of Liverpool for the wary lawyer. The city quickly becomes a capital of crime as well as culture, when a mutilated female corpse washes up on the Waterloo Beach and another soon after. A loose serial killer does no good for Harry's already morbidly preoccupied state, but between the elegant coroner Ceri Hussain and the endearing cleaner Gina he finds enough distraction. However, not all distractions in lovely packages are good. Juliet May, ex-wife of gangster Casper May and Harry's former lover, sweeps back into the lawyer's life with unforeseen consequences.
It's been ten years since Martin Edwards last wrote about the Liverpool lawyer, Harry Devlin. In the meantime, the author instead has concentrated on establishing his Hannah Scarlett / Daniel Kind Lake District Mystery series with great success. So, has the wait for Devlin been worth it? Oh yes, as Waterloo Sunset can rank amongst the best of anything the author has created and what is immediately striking about Waterloo Sunset is the tightness and dexterity of the writing. Zinging between Harry's problems and those surrounding a murder hunt with consummate ease and clarity, the pace is relentless though never at the expense of detail or drama.
Then there is Devlin's own laconic humour, which fits so well with the lawyer's Liverpool environment it becomes possible when reading to imagine him propped up at the end of the bar in pubs such as The Slaughterhouse or The Corn Exchange.
With a variety of peripheral characters who succeed in adding yet further depth and intrigue to an already compelling story - and a sense of the unexpected on every page - Waterloo Sunset without doubt sees a welcome return for much loved solicitor and, also, adds further credence to Martin Edwards's already iron-clad reputation as one of the best writers around.

5.0 out of 5 stars a lawyer looking for Liverpool '08 culture finds murder., 8 Jun 2008
By G. Reader (Merseyside) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Waterloo Sunset (Hardcover)
Martin Edwards crime novels are usually intricate in plot and meticulous in research and this book doesn't disappoint the reader.The story involves Harry Devlin, a lawyer partner in a Liverpool law firm, a man who personally takes investigation for murders (especially when one is to be his own on Midsummers Eve) as normal for his profession. The plot and sub-plots are well crafted and have been interwoven with Liverpool's European Capital of Culture 2008 as a backdrop. Add to this Martins knowledge and fantastic research ( fact or fiction?) into Liverpool's own history and you get a read not to be missed by crime reading fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars He's back!, 24 Jul 2009
By P. Masters (Staffordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Devlin's back! With all his foibles and flaws, as lively and fantastic as ever in spite of reading his own Death Notice! The usual flirtations, failed romance and suspense. I defy you to put this one down!
