4.0 out of 5 stars I was afraid to keep reading..., 19 Feb 2007
By Helen Lomax "Hel" (Perth, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Finding Davey (Paperback)
I have never read any of Jonathan Gash's books, though he has written a considerable number, including the "Lovejoy" series. This book is an excellent read, and one that could be considered "unputdownable", a real page turner. Unfortunately, there was a chance that the end wouldn't be happy (because the author managed to make the characters so believable, and therefore fallible) that when I got to the last quarter of the book, I kept picking it up, reading a few pages, then putting it down again. Finally, I read the end, just to be sure everything would be all right, and then I finished it quickly, putting it down with an immense feeling of satisfaction at the end. As I said earlier, the characterisation is excellent, particularly that of Bray and Kylee - Jonathan Gash understands very well the frustrating world of the autistic savant. Finding Davey deals with every parents' nightmare, that of the child who is stolen, and handles very credibly the effect that this has on his parents. But his grandfather, the true hero of the book, is a masterful creation, a fully fleshed real human being, complete with idiosyncracies and faults. The author also has a gift for dialogue; I could almost hear Kylee talk.
An excellent read - I could go on, but all I will say is that I'll be looking for more books by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart Warming Thrills, 4 Oct 2006
By Graeme J. Murdoch (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a remarkable piece of writing from Jonathan Gash; a compelling story of a grandfather's bond with his grandson.

What could have been over sentimemtal becomes gripping as we follow Bray's entry to the 'real world'that he is forced to confront as he endeavours to track down and rescue him from kidnappers.

It is filled with Gash's trademark expertise in antiques and ephemera yet quite different from his Lovejoy books in many ways.Overall a superb, page-turning thriller with a heart of gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finding Davey, 12 Nov 2005
There cannot be many who could fictionalise such material. Forget serial murder mysteries and horror fantasticals... this is the stuff of which nightmares are made. Jonathan Gash places the responsibility of finding an abducted child on the shoulders of a distraught grandfather who may have the wherewithal to do the impossible.
Beautiful and delicate handling of a harrowing situation makes this compulsive reading. Buy it and brace yourself for the inevitable film of the book.
