5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent books, much underrated in the U.S., April 19, 1999

This review is from: Follow That Gun (Paperback)

Gerald Hammond is a mystery writer who is much underrated on this side of the Atlantic. One of his strengths is in painting the scenery...and the Scottish scenery is spectacular. His "bad-boy" protaganist "Keith Caulder" reminds me of McDonald's "Travis McGee", a free-wheeling solver of mysteries. Caulder is a gunsmith and dealer in antique firearms in a country who thinks only the crooks should have guns. I don't hunt, but I love to stalk the ice-encrusted fields of Scotland, shooting rabbit and pigeon with Keith Caulder and his family. And it certainly doesn't hurt to stumble across a body tucked behind a stone fence and a mystery that must be solved. Finely drawn characters, good plots, cleanly written, and a pleasure to read.

This is a very slow paced and too be honest quite boring for most of the pages novel. It's very disapointing as Gerald Hammond has put out some books you just couldn't put down until the final page, this one though you can certainly put down and if you've got anything else to read in the meantime you woun't pick it up again until you don't.

In follow That Gun, Deborah, gunsmith and daughter of a small Scotish town antique gun seller who still treats her like a small child even though she's a better engraver than he is suspicious of one of her father's long time customers Mr Foster. He is know by another dealer by a different name, always pays in cash and does other dodgey stuff. When she discovers a weapon her father sold him has had its identifications altered she knows he's a criminal. She enlists her husband police officer to bring him to justice resulting in hospitilaisation and attacks on her father's shop. Her husband and her must bring Foster to justice before her family is killed.

I'd recommend getting Follow That Gun from your local library if at all. Materpiece Hammond novels to pay money for are The Dirty Dollar, The Snatch, On the Warpath and A Running Jump.
