Ray Banks

Wolf Tickets is violent, foul mouthed, amoral and utterly entertaining. The prose is lean and mean like a crime novel's should be and often laugh out loud funny. I've already downloaded another of Banks's books.

I've read a couple of Banks's earlier books and enjoyed both of them, but neither prepared me for just how good Angels of the North was. This is the work of a mature writer really hitting his stride, it's emotionally complex and rich with expertly drawn characters and a wonderful sense of time and place. Not, perhaps for the faint hearted, but I really couldn't recommend it highly enough. It really is everything a good book should be: engrossing, believable, moving, compelling and very human.

Not without it's faults but still an entertaining, gritty and gripping crime tale.

Great read

I loved Wolf Tickets and this is a fine follow up with the characters. Definitely worth a read if you enjoy crime and a laugh.
