3-2-1 Chapter Review for The Desolate Garden by Danny Kemp.
A spy
thriller where Harry Paterson is recruited by the British Secret Service to
help solve the mystery of his father’s murder.
I was
introduced to The Desolate Garden and its taxi driving author via Twitter (I
guess it works!) and it was as much Danny Kemp’s varied bio and priors as it
was the promise of a good thriller that influenced my choosing to review The
Desolate Garden. This is my 3-2-1 Chapter Review:
The Good – Easy
and thoughtful methods of introducing the lifestyle and looks of the main
character, Harry.
The Good – Loved
the confidence of Judith, you really want to get to know her more.
The Good – Great
early twist to the tale and chapter one ends with so many mysterious open doors
as to where the story will go.
The Bad – Some
of the sentences could have been a little smoother in their execution.
The Bad – The
information on the lamb-eye-eating crows seemed a little forced and over
detailed considering it was an unknown policeman in his home and as a visit from
one is usually associated with bad news, I would have expected the immediate focus to be on that.
The Beautiful
- ‘The first time I saw her was three days after I was told that my father had
died.’
