| | Customer Reviews: A faulty item - perhaps best not to buy. (04 January 2009)I actually haven't read this book as I noticed (as I was about to start) that my book from Amazon is faulty - it goes on from page 1 - 416 and then comes page 369 AGAIN and it stops at 416... So there has been a mistake of some sorts at the printing - as the last 64 pages are missing. Not much point in reading a thriller without the end! Sympathy for a killer (10 December 2008)DS Dennis Milne may be a killer but you can't help feeling some sympathy with him and alhtough Kernicks protrayal of a troubled England is a bit bleak readers will relate to it. Glad I read the stories in order - this one runs on after the excellent previous Milne storyline where he makes the reluctant leap from policeman to hitman. Excellent. Getting much better (29 October 2008)I was looking forward to seeing how ex-DS Milne fared in his new life and it seems he hasn't changed much! A few years in the sun, an odd killing job or two and suddenly he's back in the UK to avenge the death of his ex-partner in the Police Force. The action is relentless, the injuries (mainly to Milne!) and the bodies pile up as he mixes with the powerful and the sordid to solve the reasons behind the original killing. One has to have some sympathy with ex-DS Dennis Milne; he's certainly a flawed character but with the best of intentions. As in real life, these intentions often go horribly wrong but we seem to feel some satisfaction when certain criminals meet a rather painful death. Whether we meet the anti-hero again remains to be seen. I hope we do and I look forward to making that outcome a five star result. Excellent reading (01 October 2008)Excellent reading with a couple of twists. Loved it right to the end and would now like to know what happened to Dennis. Recommend this to anyone who enjoys thrillers/murders/whodunits. Wow! (05 September 2007)Like the rest of the reviewers, I also found Simon Kernick via Relentless and was left wanting more. I've just finished listening to A Good Day to Die on audiobook and although it took me a while to get used to the story teller's Essex twang, I then began to feel the beginnings of a soft spot for the character of Dennis. I couldn't stop listening and even started listening secretly at work - a definite must read (or listen), for lovers of gritty, real, UK mafia type stories. Read it.........! | |
