Bloody January by Alan Parks
3.0
This is a decent debut noir. I enjoyed it well enough, despite a couple of things which seemed a little out of place, discordant... did anyone refer to people as 'peeps' in 1973? I dont know. I was there and i dont recall it.
Despite that, the hero, McCoy, is an excellent construct. Flawed but inherently decent. Believable. Likeable.
I think I'd have felt more positive about this if i hadnt just finished Liam McIlvanney's 'The Quaker', which was just outstanding. That being said, i liked it enough to have bout the second book in the series.
