Review # 1 was written on 2007-10-21 00:00:00 George Higgins Jake Arnott's first two novels were fantastic. A great history of British crime from the 60's and onward. This third one "truecrime' sucks. Why? Perhaps he felt like he had to finish the series off, but nevertheless the intensity stops in this particular volume. But I am not giving up hope on Arnott. I think he will re-charge and come back with another winner. But do read "The Long Firm" as well as "He Kills Coppers." Both are excellent crime novels but also deals with the byproducts of that age in London as well.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-04-13 00:00:00 Zack Wimpee Hmm, I'm not sure how I feel about about this book. 2-stars is a little low and 3-stars is a little high. It's not a bad book, because it is interesting, but it's not enthralling. I think it's because it reads more like a novel featuring criminals rather than a crime novel.
