Product Description

Review

Praise for Bordersnakes: 'Crumley writes like an angel on speed ... Indispensable' Time Out 'Wild, wicked, sweet, painful, courageous, outrageous and obscene' New York Times Book Review 'A cocaine-fuelled enterprise which proves absolutely that Crumley's Texas ... is the place to be' Guardian

4.0 out of 5 stars Hardboiled Heaven, 28 Aug 2003
By Mr. Warren M. Fisher (East Grinstead, West Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Final Country (Paperback)
Despite a plot so labrynthine and complex as to often seem chaotic, this is writing to die for. Pure hardboiled prose - terse, cynical and profane, and a cast of memorably twisted and downright odd characters - all combine to dizzying effect.

Just sit back and enjoy one hell of a ride.

3.0 out of 5 stars There are better PIs out there, 3 Feb 2009
By Mr. A. V. Ward "Joburg Joller" (Weybridge, Surrey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Final Country (Paperback)
This mystery, while something of a page turner, is in need of a good editor and a more evolved plot. A few of the characters and many whole paragraphs could have been trimmed without ill effect, while the detailing of the protaganists private life is entirely superfluous.
