4.0 out of 5 stars A belated return, 18 Jan 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: First Lady (Hardcover)
It's great to have Malone back in Hillston, North Carolina after a decade (although things seemed to have only moved on a couple of years in this contained world), but perhaps inevitably this fails to match the awesome brilliance of 'Time's Witness'. Firstly this is narrated by Justin Savile, instead of his more attractive and interesting boss, Cuddy Mangum. Without our errant former narrator in charge we are at least free to follow the clean line of the novel's compelling narrative, but we are robbed of some of the preceeding work's scope and greatness (also ensuring this is a shorter book). More damagingly we are presented with the character of Mavis Mahar, Irish rock star and international superstar. Popular music in fiction almost always comes off as bogus and cheesy, the more earnestly presented the worst so (especially when chunks of risible fake lyrics are reproduced). The result is always toe-curlingly embarrassing. Combine this with the usual American portrayal of 'Begorrah Oirishness and speech littered with 'boyos' and 'so it is' - American authors always over-egg Irish and British characters and as ever this is embarrassingly quaint. This said Malone still manages to deliver a rip-roaring thriller jam-packed with humanity and humour, not least when Cuddy is on the scene.

Disappointing after the classic 'Time's Witness', this is still head and shoulders above most crime fiction - witty, thrilling and smart, Malone cannot fail but to deliver a work marked by his own genius.
