Travel to Guatemala City

A funny thing happened with this book. I read it, totally loved it, had a feeling that the author would be like Indiana Jones, only to then meet him at Harrogate and find that he’s one of the nicest and funniest people out there. He also has a very nice collection of hats fyi.

Now this novel…..Very Tarantino and with as much grit and adventure than you can throw a stick at. Eighth in the Victor series and boy, these characters aren’t getting any nicer to like! However, they’re gripping to read about even if I did sweat with the violence added to the humidity of the Guatemala city setting. Setting is not a huge part of the story but it captures nicely a part of the world where gritty story lines and shadowy characters explore with an added sense of excitement.

Death and killings stalk the streets and the off beaten track here. Victor is in danger from the get go and the pace never lets up. He’s a dark horse that one -but he seems to develop to another level in this book as many scenes and scenarios seem more personal and inward looking. A gritty, fast-paced and gripping read. Too much here to review but one to read if you like your thrillers hard hitting, hot and humid and your characters emotionally and professionally complex.
