Insincerity by Richard Godwin is gritty and unrelenting in it's quest to be super gory and destructive. A serial killer named the Pimp has killed Tammy Wayne's sister Holly. He continues to torment Tammy in the worst, most gruesome ways possible. He sends body parts to her home, and seems to come and go as he pleases. But Tammy is an ex military PI, and with her acumen, is on the hunt for this killer. This is a tangled web of a story, with a lot of characters to keep track of, but they all add something intrinsic to the story. Many of these people are leading secret lives unknown to even those closest to them. Troubling themes abound in this story not only revolving around serial killers and their various sick methods, but sexual obsession. This book is a thrilling roller coaster ride, fast plot, good descriptions and solid characters make for an enticing read. Highly recommend.

‘Not all hookers work the streets, I called myself an escort but it’s the same thing.’
British author Richard Godwin earned his BA and MA in English and American Literature from King's College London, where he also lectured. He is well established as important writer – some of his many novels include APOSTLE RISING, MR GLAMOUR, ONE LOST SUMMER, NOIR CITY, MEANINGFUL CONVERSTAIONS, CONFESSIONS OF A HIT MAN, ANDROID LOVE HUMAN SKIN, THE PURE AND THE HATED, ERSATZ WORLD, WE TAKE WHAT FATHERS WE CAN, LOCKED IN CAGES, and INSINCERITY. His publications include 29 anthologies and books of poetry. He also is a produced playwright.
Terror, horror, suspense and crime breathe in his novels, and INSINCERITY is proof of that statement and more. For an author to create the gasping response on the first page is unusual but Richard has accomplished it – ‘Tammy Wayne knew the voice, cold, metallic, lacking intonation. It hummed in her head like a tuning fork as she peered through the Venetian blinds of her office in Fulham down into the bright street below. It was an idle gesture. She knew he wouldn’t be out there. He was too smart. She said nothing, hoping to hold him long enough to get the trace on the phone call. Waiting for the man who called himself The Pimp to make a mistake. ‘I can’t hear you, it’s a bad line,’ she said, keeping her voice steady, controlled. ‘I have things to give you, all that frozen skin, piece by broken piece,’ he said. ‘I’m going to find you and kill you for what you did.’ ‘I hope you enjoy your sister’s mouth.’‘The first explosion ripped through the outer wall, tearing the facade from the office block. A chair and a desk landed on the pavement, their legs rolling into the traffic as cars swerved to avoid them. The second explosion came exactly two minutes later and removed the entire floor of the building. Two pedestrians were injured by falling debris and it took the fire brigade several hours to put out the fire. Tammy Wayne had gone out on an unexpected call after The Pimp ended the call. She narrowly missed being there when the building was blown apart. A woman called Joyce Farmer had rung a few minutes before his call, claiming to know The Pimp’s identity. Joyce said enough for her to suspect she was not a hoaxer. As it was, the call saved her life.’
In the well-crafted synopsis the horror of this tale comes through – ‘Ex-military PI, Tammy Wayne, tracks serial killers for a living.

The Pimp has Tammy under surveillance, coming and going to her house as he wants, sending her Holly’s body parts.

This is superb mystery writing – skillful, well paced and a breath holder until the lat page. Strong work, this

Who can be sincere when human sexuality is the object of human obsession? This question is deeply explored in Richard Godwin's latest and very noir thriller. Since it is in this genre, I will be careful not to reveal the way it ends. Some of the novels and films which it reminds me of are Psycho (esp. the Bloch novel), Samuel Delany’s The Tides of Sex, Ellis’ American Psycho, Bataille’s The Story of the Eye, and perhaps Michael Powell’s film Peeping Tom. It is good enough to take its place alongside any of them.
The Pimp is an Ed Gein-like killer of females. Think perhaps also of Hannibal Lector. He kills a female detective's sister and then makes intolerable phone calls to her full of sadistic threats. She is determined to find him.
The implications Godwin is so good at make one think of the way a madman is symbiotic with the legal methods of selling sex. Control of desire is one, in that The Pimp is after total control. The advertising of sexually related products is doing so also. And fetishism is both The Pimp's method of arousal and that of the promoter of clothing, accessories, and exotic travel.
Godwin foils the Pimp and the Detective with two successful Londoners, Karen Sincere and Julies Gold, possibly the handsomest man in the city. He might have emerged "Directly from the pages of a fashion magazine." Those names are teasingly symbolic. Karen and her rival for his affections both want to surveille Julius. Not too sincere of her, but to control the Adonis is a must for her.
In this book, as in Godwin's previous one, skin and its conventional connotations are a measure of the culture's voyeuristic desires. A female’s skin is the most visible and decorated part of her, especially in popular entertainment and advertisements. Here, desire and daydream are refashioned as nightmare.
Cold, factual, tightly constructed prose leaves this reader with the powerful impression of walking nightmare. The Pimp and another sicko, The Beekeeper, are artists of malevolent destruction. How pervasive and symbolic is what they embody? It's sex as a form of terrorism, as aggressive as that defined by political leaders and attributed to The Other. When you think about it, what is the genesis of that terror, sexual or otherwise, and what is it doing deep inside our heads?

Many times when we meet people we try to go on the old adage "Do unto other as you would have others do unto you." In a nutshell that means treat people the way you want to be treated, so that means you would want to meet people who are genuine like yourself. Once you get to know the person and learn the person beneath the shell that is when all the fun begins. You learn what makes them tick and what makes them cry and at some point you discover if you really want to continue to know the person. What happens when the person underneath is someone not worth knowing? Do you try to change the person or run from the friendship?
Tammy Wayne is a woman who is lost. She is lost because someone murdered her sister Holly. While Tammy has taken up searching for serial killers, she is still haunted by the one who got away. The police can't or won't help her so she is on her own. What is Tammy supposed to do when she knows down in her soul that this person does really exist? Should she just leave it alone like the police want her to or should she keep on until she reveals the truth.
Karen Sincere is married to her husband, Mickey. It started out as a good enough marriage but over the years Mickey started to change. Karen noticed the change but was afraid to say something to Mickey about. She know that he had a traumatic childhood but has he gotten over those haunting events? What if anything can Karen do to help her husband get better? Does Mickey feel like there is an issue with him or is the issue with Karen?
Insincerity is a mystery/murder novel. I say it like that because while there are murders going on it is more of a mystery about who, how or why these murders occur. I love the mindset of Godwin because he keeps you wanting more. Just when you think things are going to go in one direction they are switched up and go another way, that keeps you thinking while you are reading. I love the book cover, it is intriguing and makes you wonder what is between the pages. If you have never read a book written at the hand of a British author, you will enjoy this. While some of their words are spelled slightly different from in America, you will not be lost. I enjoyed his work and I look forward to reading more.

Insincerity is a book that keeps us glued to the last page. Briefly, this book focuses mainly on strong emotions that we encounter in your daily life, like power, control and sexual attraction. The book addresses in detail the human obsession and what one is capable of to fulfill that desire to possess something (or someone).
The serial killer (The Pimp) and the detective were the main characters in this sordid story. When you think you have the killer figured it out, he does it again, and again, and you can feel the grief and frustration of the detective, who’s sister was tortured and murdered by “The Pimp”. Since there were so many plot twists, at a certain point, I found myself thinking “What can possibly happen next?”.
But don’t think the story just revolves around this two. For Godwin one isn’t enough, so he added another serial killer — The Beekeeper — that helps fuel the gore and destruction. Godwin also throws into the mix sensuality and sex, which goes along perfectly well with the complex plot.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and strongly recommend it! Insincerity keeps your interest until the end, and does not disappoint, but keep in mind it’s not a romance nor your typical detective thriller. Its rawer and more complex than that.

Insincerity is about a lady called Tammy who is out to find and expose her sister, Holly’s killer who was known as The Pimp. Now this was tough because the police had closed the case.
The Pimp was called that because of his obsession with women and their lips. Other characters included a killer known as The Beekeeper, notorious gang leader called Gary Kane, a violent husband called Micky and a very interesting man called Julius Gold. Julius Gold was described as a sexual god and as it later turns out, he was a sexual god alright and a contract killer albeit with a good heart.
The journey to finding The Pimp was a very frustrating one as he kept evading Tammy and her assistant Arlene (also Holly’s lover before death). He invaded their home and left disturbing gifts almost everyday.
In the end, Tammy finds out Micky, Gary Kane, The Beekeeper and, The Pimp knew each other, they all die expect Julius as he proved to be “different”. I highly recommend this book.
Pease bear in mind some parts are very descriptive.

'Insincerity' by Richard Goodwin is a gritty thriller, exploring some pretty dark themes. It follows Private Investigator Tammy Wayne, as she tracks two abhorrent serial killers, The Pimp and The Beekeeper. Both killers have Tammy in her sights, and both killers collect body parts as souvenirs from their victims. In the face of such evil can Tammy prevent herself from becoming the next victim? She will have to decipher the double lives of those close to the crimes to find out which of them is being insincere, but will she figure it out in time.
This fast-paced thriller has an air of the noir crime thrillers like 'The Black Dahlia' with a contemporary twist. The Pimp is such a deeply dark character, his world is fun of sin, sex, and disturbing desires, as an antagonist I really despised him. I couldn't put the book down, waiting desperately for his downfall, but did I get it? You will have to read to find out.

Don't let the odd description put you off. The story can get a bit complex and wrapped up in its own gory details a bit, but the story is fun and easy to follow the plot for a noir, gore tale. The pacing is perfect for a story of this kind, you can get through it in a day or two, and the characters are fleshed out well, so well it's hard not to imagine they have real-world counterparts (especially the serial killers depicted). My biggest gripe here is the cast, there seems to be too much going on with the characters at any given moment. They are so rich and developed that it's hard to determine which ones are really necessary and which ones are filler, which is bittersweet. However, the writing is solid and it's to feel like the complex ensemble doesn't belong.

From the first day I started reading insincerity by Richard Godwin I was determined to finish it on the first night. Every chapter carries perfect detail to enchant one into a hook of bewilderment. It was so uniquely written I would often become so immersed and enraged with the characters that I felt obliged to chide them in my personal notes application. It's actually true.
Moreover the title fits for the ongoings in the story. Almost every character blends with that name and that is what makes the story extraordinary.
My only discomfort is with the excessive usage of graphic sexual scenes. But i also may be wrong saying this since it has a lot with the characters bonding with each other. Nevertheless my regard would be with Julius and Ashley, and sometimes Kate.
Finally, I did aspire to read the abridged arcs ... some of them were pretty poetic and sensual. That i fully loved.
Fantastic read, Mr Godwin!

From the beginning,the words just say read me.There were times I yelled at the pimp.He is so cruel,crazy and unrelenting,how can one person hate women with such passion?Was he the only perverted psycho,no?The way the author created his psycho,narcissistic men with no scruples leaves one raw with emotion,but enter Julius Gold.He becomes a hero to all the female characters who were on the psycho's radar.
He makes all those men look like little boys.Everything about him oozes sex appeal,even the way he killed.

Undoubtedly intriguing!
Godwin definitely pulled me in with his book Insincerity. The story is gritty and raw, and throws not just one serial killer in the mix! It's written very well as it keeps this reader engaged, hooked on every word, every grisly detail of "The Pimp" and victims. The quest for law and order may be overpowered by vengeance. It's an amazing story that brings lively characters, and shows the dark side of the world that people try to ignore. It's a passionate and vivid story of survival and darkness. It was my first by Godwin, but I'm sure it won't be my last.

I'm usually not big on non-fictional books. But I'm glad I gave this one a go. I like that the author gave the feeling of a female version of Taken. There were a few parts of the book that made me cringe, I am almost sure that was the author's intention. I enjoy a book that can stir up emotions, the good and the bad and Richard has done it. I am anxious to read another of his books in the near future!

With a variety of twists and unforeseen mysteries, this supernatural mystery is written well, and developed with a sense of well-roundedness. The story itself offers a well-described stage for the characters to play out this intriguing mystery of “who did it.” Making these individuals likable and intriguing. It even has a supernatural curse to deal with, so if you are curious, find out whether or not it can be broken and at what cost. A good mystery to be recommended.

Dark and twisted from the offset, this read is not for the faint hearted. At every turn it is packed with scenes of gory torture and brutal murder. Fast paced and blunt writing style from the author, Richard Godwin, this book packs a punch.
Insincerity is for fans of the truly noir serial killer tale. Who is he and will he be caught? Not without a sickening chase first.

This novel is very graphic and somewhat violent. It did catch my attention in the beginning but after a while I needed to take a break from it due to the violence. I am a fan of thrillers and suspense but sometimes this went a little bit far. The ending was a good wrap up but still a bit confusing.

Richard Godwin is underpublished. This book and his other greats, like One Lost Summer and Savage Highway, should be on Best-Seller lists. Brilliant book 📗 from a scary, bizarre, badass writer.

Insincerity is about an Ex-Military PI called Tammy Wayne who is renowned for tracking down serial killers.
Tammy had a sister called Holly who was killed by “The Pimp”, and is set to taunt and torment Tammy and her girlfriend Arlene who has also got a connection to Holly.
I found parts of this book quite gruesome due to the descriptions that the author used to describe certain aspects of the book. I’m pretty sure that was the authors intention and he certainly managed to do that with parts of this.
We are also introduced to The Beekeeper, another killer who this time abducts women and then uses latex to cover their bodies before killing them.
Apart from both killers collecting body parts what else do they have in common?
All in all I found this book and okay read and will confess that if I hadn’t said I would review this book for a blog tour which didn’t end up going ahead, I’m not 100% sure it would have been a book I would have personally chosen to read as despite reading on my kindle I’m a stickler (or can be) for reading a book based on a cover and this cover really didn’t appeal to me.
