4.0 out of 5 stars Blows Rankine and Brookmyre out of the water, 23 Oct 2007
By doublegone (scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Kiss Her Goodbye (Paperback)
Allan Guthrie is by far the best Scottish crime novelist on the go at the moment and should be much better known than he is. His style is hardboiled along the lines of American masters such as Jim Thompson. This book, like his others is a solid page-turner. Its not great literature but it has craftsmanship and it draws you in. I normally have his books finished within 48 hours. Not going to win the Booker anytime soon and all the better for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive reading, 2 Jun 2006
By Wolfe (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kiss Her Goodbye (Paperback)
Fast paced crime noir novel that I found addictively easy to read. I think the book's strength is that all the main characters (especially Cooper and Joe Hope) are very compelling. His baddies have redeemable qualities (Cooper is a doting father) whilst his heroes tend to be flawed (Joe isn't exactly a model citizen). The plot develops nicely, leading to a tension (and violence)filled denouement. Possibly a slight downside is that when the novel comes to an end, it almost feels like it's ended too soon, and I wanted to know what was going to happen next. But maybe Guthrie's next book will answer that particular question?

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't match the hype, 15 Jul 2006
By L. Bennie "tigger35b" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Kiss Her Goodbye (Paperback)
With all the wonderful write ups this novel has had (including the above) I was expecting so much more from it. In the end I found a medicore novel where the author was under the impression that if he provided enough violence then he'd write a good thriller. It didn't work. To be honest it did start of well but after the first few chapters went downhill fast. From the moment Joe is arrested in Orkney I'd worked out what was going on and therefore it then limped to a pathetic anticlimax. And I am sorry, but in my view the writing was just awful!!

Make your own mind up but if I were you, I wouldn't bother wasting the money on this - in fact you can have my copy, cos I don't want it!
