Product Description

PUBLISHING NEWS

'Here we have a Southern crime writer every bit as good as his Scottish counterpart' --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

'Hurley's decent, persistent cop is cementing his reputation as one of Britain's most credible official sleuths... a brilliantly depicted microcosm of contemporary Britain. His investigations are realistic and authoritative... a sterling demonstration of the way crime writing can target society's woes.' (GUARDIAN Maxim Jakubowski )

'Excellent... Another first rate thriller from a writer who is firmly up there with the best' (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH Susanna Yager )

'There is no doubt that his series of police-procedural novels is one of the best since the genre was invented more than half a century ago... As always Hurley has pulled off the trick of filling his pages with downbeat, depressing details and making them into an upbeat enjoyable read.' (LITERARY REVIEW )

'Blood and Honey shows why Graham Hurley is at the forefront of British crime writers... [he] again proves himself a champion of the genre' (WATERSTONES BOOKS QUARTERLY )

'Graham Hurley is a safe pair of hands at delivering slightly grungy, atmospheric crime novels and is here true to form.' (SPECTATOR )

'extremely realistic and very convincing' (CRIMESQUAD.COM )

'A riveting read, with two intense storylines and more than an injection of human trials and tribulations to make it more than just a crime book. 10/10' (PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH )

'a brilliantly depicted microcosm of contemporary Britain... realistic and authoritative... a sterling demonstration of the way crime writing can target society's woes.' (GUARDIAN )

'There is no doubt that his series of police-procedural novels is one of the best since the genre was invented more than half a century ago...' (LITERARY REVIEW )

'A Southern crime writer every bit as good as his Scottish counterpart [Ian Rankin]' (PUBLISHING NEWS ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Portsmouth's Detectives continue the fight, 23 Dec 2009
By Joanne D'Arcy (Portsmouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Blood And Honey (Joe Faraday Novels) (Paperback)
This book is the 6th in the Joe Faraday series. And leads on nicely from the previous two books (I started reading them from book 4!). There is always a back story and this time it is the war in Bosnia, and the problems between the Serbs and the Croats. Previously we have seen the Falklands and the war in Iraq dealt with this adds to the plotlines and gives them more weight and perhaps lets us as readers see a different reason as to why crimes are committed.

Faraday is called over to the Isle of Wight, when a headless body is discovered at the bottom of the cliffs, by a passerby. However, the headless body and the fact that the length of time it has been in the water makes identifying the body difficult. A young lad is missing who has worked previously on the island and also used to regularly visit his grandmother at the local nursing home. Is the body his? And why is the owner of the local nursing home one of the most feared on the whole of the island?

As readers we see how Faraday and his team, including a rather career minded local DC use varying different police resources (all at a cost of course!) open to them to find out the truth. However when they do find out the truth was it worth knowing, and perhaps sleeping dogs should always lie. Hurley allows us a glimpse into Faradays life, his past relationship with J.J's mother and also his love of the local and there is a different plot line which upon reflection after the end of the book actually is relevant to the main storyline of Faraday and his investigation. At the time, it was a mere diversion.

The other strong detective character that features is DC Winter; he is the opposite of Faraday in that his methods are perhaps slightly less by the book. Winter is involved in trying to catch the businessman Wishart who is involved with a prostitute called Maddox. However there is something wrong with both DC Winter and Maddox and they are both thrown together as they try to come to terms with the life that is unfolding in front of them. Winter's determination to make sure Wishart is finished is what continues to drive him on to the right conclusion.

I seek out the next story in the Faraday series, to continue with these wonderful characters in my local area which makes it all more interesting to read when you know the area they are talking about. Hurley continues to be accurate with the descriptions.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read, 1 Jun 2008
By P. Horrex "bristolre" (Ipswich, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Blood And Honey (Joe Faraday Novels) (Paperback)
I found this book excellent, Paul Winter as usual being the best of the characters. But you had to feel for the alleged criminals, Lajla and Pelly. I felt the ending was as good as it should be. Having struggled to read Peter Robinson's latest Inspector Banks novel prior to reading this (Friend of the Devil), I found Hurley's Blood and Honey un-put-downable. Highley recommended, but always better if you'd read the novels in sequence.

3.0 out of 5 stars More of a Paul Winter mystery, 8 Oct 2007
This review is from: Blood And Honey (Joe Faraday Mystery) (Hardcover)
Not bad. Plot is confusing and goes nowhere. Relationship between Winter and Maddox (prostitute), and Winter's illness, which seem incidental to begin with, are what sustain the book and make it worthwhile reading. Faraday is almost secondary and his deaf son J. J. (a strong presence in previous novels in the series) barely makes an appearance.

Having read and really enjoyed the other Faraday novels I was eager to get this one. To be honest it is probably the weakest of the series as if Hurley was looking for... Read more
