David had requested a review of the first 15 pages (Ch-1) and I plan to read the rest when i've worked down my current (virtual and actual) stack of books!
The book is a first person POV from Patrick, an ingenuous combination of accountant and what sounds to be vigilante- come hitman. Nor being a big thriller/crime reader I thought this an excellent idea for a character and the thoughts and actions are well written. The pace of the first chapter is enough to tug your curiosity about both Patrick and the character he is 'investigating' along with some nice digs about modern estates and the North-west.
The style is easy to read, although some sentences jar a little. The exclamation marks are a bit intrusive on the first page and could probably use toning down- but maybe that's me.
Look forward to reading the rest.
