I've posted some snippets below and you can click through for the full reviews:
Crime Fiction Lover
"Carter Blake is an excellent character. He’s tough but can compromise, intelligent, resourceful without being ridiculous. In other words, believable ... The novel itself clips along. Although there are three strands to the story they don’t get confused. The chapters are short, the prose is punchy and fast moving making this a proper page turner which maintains a furious pace without draining the reader."
Crime Thriller Girl
"THE TIME TO KILL is an adrenaline rush from the first page to the last. Blake is a terrific action hero – he’s smart, agile, and although prefers not to kill people (even the bad guys) he’ll fight as hard as it takes to make sure the good guys win.
"Packed with stunning set-piece action sequences, and an emotional punch as you discover more of the rather mysterious Blake’s backstory, this cinematic action thriller is like reading Reacher crossed with Bourne plus added fabulousness. It’s a total must read. In fact, stop what you’re doing right now and start reading it – you won’t regret it!"
Liz Loves Books
"Carter Blake gets compared to Reacher an awful lot (he’s better) – for me he is more Jack Bauer (he’s still better) but you should probably ignore both of those and just let this series be what it is. A set of bloody brilliant thrillers with heart, more complex at the roots than they appear on the surface, that honestly I hope go on for as long as the aforementioned Reacher has. Longer. Its fine. Carter can kill people with the zimmer no problem."
Peterborough Evening Telegraph
"This helter-skelter thriller fulfils the promise of the first two books featuring former secret agent Carter Blake"
I was also really pleased to be picked for the Sunday Post's top 10 thrilling reads for summer (along with a feature on me and a picture of me trying to look menacing in an alley). Considering their other picks include Stephen King, Lee Child, Val McDermid and Harlan Coben, it's very nice company to be in. Good to see Steve Cavanagh's awesome The Defence represented too.
And to round things off, a nice feature in the Daily Record Book Club about the new book.
The Time to Kill is out now in the UK and you can get it from the following places:
audiobookAudible
It's going to be published in the United States in February with a change of title (or rather, with the original title), so American readers can pre-order Winterlong right now.
I've had a sneak peek of the American cover and it's awesome, so stay tuned for that reveal, along with some other plans I have for the Stateside release...
