Customer Reviews

Good characters sustaining an exciting, unpredictable plot.
Matthew Hall is an excellent writer, he manages the rare art of portraying realistic male and female characters, along with a well plotted storyline that is evenly paced and nicely unpredictable. Although his anti-hero is rather too brutal for comfort it's all done for the best possible motives. Not someone you'd want for an enemy (or a friend). The heroine is portrayed as an engaging mixture of strengths and weaknesses without being over analytical, sentimental or competing in the macho stakes (in other words a real person).

The plot is a take on Robin Hood although the Maid Marion is not entirely on Robin's side. The modern day Sheriff of Nottingham is a Corporate tycoon in New York who needs to be persuaded of better ways to spend his money. The author turns this unpromising scenario into an exciting thriller with excellent characterisations, including the minor personnel, and a plotline that keeps the attention until the last page.

Matthew Hall is a real find, when is his next book out?
