A review by muninnherself
East of England by Eamonn Martin Griffin

4.0

An excellent 'rural noir' set in a part of the UK I only know from books. The 'landscape as character' works really well here, and this is a tense and well constructed novel, with an unpleasant semi-twist and lots of realistically nasty characters. The protagonist is compelling despite his flaws, I'd certainly be happy to read more about him.


Also I always like a subplot about red diesel.


(I read this on Pigeonhole, which releases a section every day for ten days or whatever. This is an interesting concept, but I found it quite frustrating, as I would certainly have read the whole thing in one go otherwise. I might read it again when I get my ebook copy.)
