SLAMMER - not to be missed

nigel p bird · 09-06-2011, 06:18 PM

Slammer. When I got to the end of this book I was questioning my own sanity in ways I've never done before.
The reach and scope of the book is immense and it had me absolutely hooked from the very beginning. This is a complicated book, though on the surface it reads as a straightforward, white-knuckle ride from the crime genre; Guthrie is always a step ahead of the reader and, in spite of laying everything out, manages to keep a couple of aces up his sleeve.

Guthrie is one of my favourite living authors (if he dies, he'll be one of my favourite dead ones)and this is one of my favourite books by him.

Intense, psychological, evocative, crazy and absolutely page-turning. I wouldn't want you to miss this one for the world. And it's such an amazing bargain as a Kindle book it's like one of the dark ingredients to the book itself.

A must read.

Amazon says; "Not currently available" when clicking on your link.

But I found it here... for $14.30. That's a little steep.

I found it on the first link for 99c and with such a glowing review I figured it was worth adding to the TBR pile which is now a virtual towering skyscraper
Thanks

It's only £ 0.99 in the UK.

The link in the original post still says "currently unavailable" for me. There's several other titles by that author available for $0.99, though. Oh, well.

It's unavailable to me as well. I did read the description, though, and decided I wouldn't have bought it anyway - even if I had a Kindle. Crime thrillers just don't interest me.
