![]() ![]() Rules are broken, lines aren't just crossed - they are obliterated and bridges go up in smoke as Luther strides through the world that Cross builds in LUTHER. What is particularly worthwhile about this book is the character of DCI John Luther, a moody, difficult, man with a volatile personality and absolute tunnel vision when it comes to getting the bad guy. This factor is a particular relief for this reader who has ploughed through way too many film scripts loosely disguised as novels over the years to be at all comfortable. ![]() These are fully fleshed out stories, with strong characters, really good plots and whilst there's nothing staid about the books, there's nothing obviously "treatment" about them either. The most important thing about any of this author's books is that, particularly as he has such a name as a scriptwriter, there's nothing filmic or screen treatment about the books. Especially as, I believe, this has been a reverse adaptation with the TV series coming before the book. So interesting to see if a fabulous author has written a fabulous book, regardless of whatever's been going on over on the small screen. Downside, LUTHER THE CALLING has a connection with a TV series which I've never seen. ![]() Upside, Neil Cross has written some fantastic recent books. ![]()
