A review by tuftymctavish
A Dangerous Man by Charlie Huston

4.0

The final part in the trilogy, it's been rather enjoyable to see the story progress and evolve. The 'hero' of the tale is in a vastly different place to where he started, and in some respects in a rather sad position. As the reviewer on the back of the book puts it, "If there is such a thing as compassionate noir, Charlie has found it." I tend to agree - there are a few scenes in the book I re-read, rather struck by the predicament. And of course the fight scenes are brutally described, which serve to show just how far down the dark path Hank has reached.

I read this book very quickly after the second and was saddened to reach the end. I like how the twists and turns of the book can still surprise; just when you realise you'd forgotten about something, there it is.
