Timlin's best novel?,
By
This review is from: Answers From the Grave (Hardcover)
Leaving the pulp excesses of his Sharman novels behind him, Timlin returns with a mature crime novel that deserves to be a best seller.
Set in the present, but with continuous flashbacks to 1960's/1980's, this book follows the lives of a south London criminal gang and a sons need for revenge against his father's killer that ends up destroying all those involved. The themes of sadness and loss that permeate the best of the Sharman stories (which might surprise many who dismiss Timlin as merely a pulp writer) are allowed to take the forefront. Your sympathy for the characters is built up slowly (this is a very long book by Timlin's standards) and his drawing of South London is his best here and the violence, which could be over the top in some of Timlin's work, is handled realistically. Great stuff. |
