Stephen Banister

Got it in the mail July 5th - a Good Reads Giveaway :)I enjoy a quick wit and a smart mouth and Tuck has plenty of that. The one liners and casual irrevererance will keep you chuckling. Tuck is a good ol boy who enjoys a drink, a card game and women (all just a little less than his dog) but it's hard to hold that against him. Banister is playing on stereotypes of an urban cowboy against the city life of Austin Texas.Tuck finds himself involved in a gun & drug running intrigue after his tenant takes a forced dive off the roof of St Charles House, but it becomes personal when they shoot his dog and along with his pals they aim to take the corrupt lobbyists down.My only niggle is that a little homophobia leaks out at one point which I was disappointed in since it wasn't necessary.Yet I enjoyed the story, reminds me a little of a Spenser ([a:Robert B Parker|3112469|Robert B Parker|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg]) or Fitzroy Angel([a:Mike Ripley|35847|Mike Ripley|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg]) styles - I'd certainly enjoy reading more in the series. I probably would not have picked this up as a deliberate choice but I am glad I got a chance to read it and find something new to enjoy.… (plus d'informations)
