The Watchman - Robert Crais

Having recently read my first novel by Robert Crais I felt it was time to take a trip down to my local book lending emporium and browse their shelves. I left the place with an armful of books but only one Crais - sadly. The Watchman is the tale of Larkin(?) Conner Barkley who during a mindless act of speeding rear-ends another car. As she exits her vehicle to check on the occupants of the other car she witnesses one passenger running from the scene of the accident. A few days later she is suddenly running for her life. Joe Pike, ex-marine/ex-cop/ex-humour, is recruited to protect the girl and, along with the aid of his friend, Elvis Cole, he sets about turning ...

The Watchman - Robert Crais

the bad guy, rather than waiting to be killed. This is a book that opens at a pace and does not stop. I am a huge fan of Robert Crais and especially his Elvis Cole books. The Cole series has a wonderful balance of great storytelling, witty banter and exhilarating action. This action is normally pretty dark and sometimes violent. The perpetrator of this punishment is as often Pike as it is the enemy. The laughs are provided by The World s Best Detective Elvis Cole, his breezy nature hides a strong detective who will do anything to get to the truth. Without Cole s light asides can Crais still strike the right balance? The Watchman does strike a good balance, ...

Indigo Slam - Robert Crais

Indigo Slam is the seventh Elvis Cole, P.I novel written by Robert Crais, a veteran writer on shows such as Cagney And Lacey and Hill Street Blues, who devised this Detective series to explore themes he felt he couldn t do justice on American television. The Elvis Cole series has earned Crais a whole host of well-deserved literary awards and no end of critical acclaim and, picking this up, it is easy to see why. Not only are these books tense and highly-crafted but also action-packed and full of dark, dry and sarcastic humour that often gets Cole into trouble. What is even more appealing is that you don t have to had read any of the previous novels to delve into this ...
