A review by bairdy1985
Crucial Black by Colin Garrow
5.0
After reading the pervious book in the series, Terminal Black, I was pretty much already hooked in.. Relic is such as wonderful character.
As the synopsis suggests please do read the first book before attempting this one! A lot has happened and there’s no rest for the wicked as Relic is put to work by the gang.
Relic is a loveable rogue..and it’s the dark humour that I really enjoyed as Relic battles to make himself useful.. he was almost killed once.. let’s not make a habit of it eh.
The job is pretty simple.. get rid of a few bodies.. and he’s got Ali McKay to show him the ropes.. what could possibly go wrong.. coppers that’s what.. and not just coppers.. bent coppers..
Add into the mix some rivals getting too big for their boots!
Crucial Black is fast paced and packed full of gritty energy… like the tension is palpable..
There’s some really good twists and turns keeping the reader on their toes and If I’m honest I just got sucked into this one…there’s nothing I didn’t love.. the flow was just spot on and the character development, especially for Relic and Ali were off the chart!
I loved Ali and his humour, but also really enjoyed the author gave him a real life outside of his profession, he’s a fun character to read but this just added so much more depth to him.
Not for the faint hearted.. the first few scenes.. yeh I’m not surprised Relic blows chunks ha ha.
Great series, well written and clearly a lot of thought has gone into the pace and direction.
Resounding 5*
