A review by bettychuck
Already Gone by John Rector

3.0

I decided to read this book after reading the synopsis and I must admit I was not disappointed. I normally shy away from novels that start with violent acts, such as finger removal, but I had to find out what happened next. This novel reminded me of some of the best 50's film noir movies.

I really enjoyed the twists and turns in the plot, but I found Jack Reese a bit to naive to be completely believable. For a man raised in the criminal underworld, I would have expected him to anticipate the actions of the criminals around him.

I highly recommend this novel for an enjoyable read on a cold winter's day, with a glass of red wine by your side. This is a true guilty pleasure of a novel.
