UEL English PEN Society Book Reviews

Hardened ex-policeman, jaded and recovering smoker, seeks ticket to America to avoid personal issues and escape memories of his past.
If main character Jack Taylor had written a lonely hearts ad, it would probably read something like this.
Except, it wouldn't. Because of the wonderfully blunt narrative voice used in this novel, you're bullshit-free, pretty refreshing given the normal emotional spiel that comes along with crime/horror.

The devil is toying with him, and Jack knows it. SO, he comes up with an excellent plan of smoking lots, drinking more and trying to figure out how to escape Satan.

A clever mix of English and Irish language, this novel is pretty funny in places.

Trigger warnings; violence, death, mutilation.

Would recommend.

Until next time,
Emerald Elizabeth.
