The Lonely Hunter - first review

[realthog]

My novella The Lonely Hunter, just out from PS Publishing, has received its first review. The novella's probably the nearest I'll ever get to writing a Claude Chabrol movie, and so, reasonably enough, the review comes from a crime-fiction site. The reviewer is Mario Guslandi, the site is Gumshoe, and the review concludes:

 

Grant skilfully shuffles his cards and muddies the waters throughout the novella, playing with the readers’ credulity and leading them on the wrong track. He controls and handles his characters as an expert puppeteer, thus producing a memorable book where love, hate, seduction, and ambition blend in a powerful, intoxicating cocktail.

Fans of detective stories will find Grant’s elegant and efficacious prose and his insightful approach a refreshing change. Lovers of good mainstream fiction will enjoy the aura of intriguing mystery enveloping a superbly told human affair. Either way, highly recommended.

 

The book's available from PS Publishing here in the standard hc edition and here in the posh, limited, signed edition.
