Lost interest rather quickly due to my inability to warm to the POV character. Library return necessary and a return to this book unlikely at this time. ( ) Valpolicella is a PI in Bath and he is told that he's going to be arrested for murder in a few days and the only way to circumvent this looming fate is to investigate the company that runs the CCTV, who are also doing an archaeological dig just outside of town. The tagline reads - "Guns! Drugs!! Pigs!!!" There's an amusing "How this book got published" story - created for the fundraiser that funded the book - about writing the book for a cider-fuelled bet with a publisher, the rise of Amazon, rare book dealers and other insalubrious dealings... The book itself romps along running on whiskey, cigarettes and lines of coke with an amiable narrator and enough of a plot to leave you guessing. There's a rather abrupt end but on the whole it's a very enjoyable read. It's worth mentioning that the cover is fantastic, the paper edges are red and overall it's a very handsome book to have on your shelf. Recommended. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"A barn-burning, page-turner from the depths of the secret worlds of hellish evil..." --Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers Catacombs of Terror! is a noir crime thriller set in Bath, England, in which private investigator Martin Valpolicella receives a tip that he will soon be framed for a future murder--that of his former lover--one that is set to take place in the catacombs buried beneath the city. Can he save the girl, and himself? A drug-fueled escapade takes place in the seedy subterranean of the countryside better known for hot springs and Jane Austen. Donwood has penned a breakneck tale that weaves through secret societies, underground tunnels, and a surreal cast of characters where nothing is as it seems except looming danger!
