Fantastic Review by Fitz on Blogcritics.com
I was just made aware that I have received a fantastic review from Fitz on industry/commentary website Blogcritics.com. I could not be more pleased.
The review can be found here: http://blogcritics.org/book-review-be......
An excerpt:
"When you think of authors for thriller or crime novels, who do you think of? Raymond Chandler? Ian Fleming? Dan Brown? How about Neil Russell?
I’ve reviewed his work before. His previous novels City of War and Wildcase: A Rail Black Novel both received high marks from me. So when he reached out about Beverly Hills is Burning: A Rail Black Novel, how could I say no?
This one takes a modern day mystery set in the cutthroat world of Hollywood producers, directors, writers, and actors and mixes in some classic mob intrigue, sex scenes that made me blush, and strong female characters who demanded attention. As per usual, Rail Black is the main character of the story in the present, but this time he was balanced out by Barrie Fontaine, pilot and seeker of adventure in the 1930s....
Russell starts with a bang and doesn’t let up until every single plot thread is wrapped up neatly with a bow. He seamlessly works history into the mix, pulling in characters like Lucky Luciano and Howard Hughes to lend an air of realism to the gritty violence and big money deals worked across the United States, Mexico, and Cuba. Each time he would switch from one timeline to the other I wondered what new tidbits he was going to tempt us with. There’s even a bit of a paranormal angle to keep things interesting!..."
