Soho Noir #4
Crazy For You
THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE NEVER RUNS SMOOTH
It’s 1987, and Soho is in the grip of another hot summer. While working part-time in The Red Lion, Joe finds himself agreeing to help a notorious gangster search for her missing girlfriend.
Antonia The Gecko Lagorio is daughter to the ruthless but ageing gang boss, Tony The Lizard Lagorio. When her girlfriend, Charlotte Fenwick, goes missing, Antonia turns to Joe for help, believing her to have been kidnapped by a rival gang.
Charlotte Fenwick is daughter to multi-millionaire, Charles Fenwick—who also happens to be one of Freddie Gillespie’s bigger clients. Keen to keep any hint of a scandal out of the public eye, Charles Fenwick had already asked Freddie to recruit Russell and Joe to help him find his daughter discreetly.
With both of them on the case, Joe and Russell find themselves trying to stop a turf war between the two rival gangs while uncovering all manner of dark secrets about the missing heiress and her troubled life.
Meanwhile Freddie Gillespie has a run in with an old foe that could see him lose both his job and his relationship with Russell.

I was on the promotional tour for this novella!
As one excited fan of the Soho Noir series, I couldn’t believe that book four was ready to read and to re-visit the lives of Joe and Russell, who I’ve grown close to throughout the various cases they have investigated. At just over an hundred pages long, Crazy For You is a thrilling and fast-paced read about Charlotte, her father a millionaire but having some rocky relationship issues. With all the unhappiness, she suddenly disappears and fingers are directed towards a young man who she knew from gangs in London. I loved how easy it felt to immerse myself into the story. There are flashbacks to events that happened previously, yet I was grateful for that as it not fuelled my love for the series, but also ignited my dislike for one character (but that’s because he’s a nasty meanie anyway!) I always say this but I need the next book ASAP!

Hurray! We are on book 4 -4!- of the fabulous T.S Hunter's Red Dog Press from Red Dog Press-'Crazy For You' is out now in paperback or ebook formats.
A tiny plea, if you are going to buy it-and frankly, why wouldn't you?-I would love it if you could use the publisher website to do so .It is available elsewhere, but supporting an indie publisher by buying directly from them is like shaking their hands, and boosts their business in a way that butying from another place is a drop in the ocean to a multi national corp..naming no names, but you get my drift!
This time around, still recovering from the events of Careless Whisper, Russell and Joe are minding their business in the Red Lion, when a case comes their way.
Anotnia 'the Gecko' Lagorio and Freddie Gillespie (Russell's boyfriend) both find themselves independently approached about the same missing girl case.
Charlotte (AKA Charlie) Fenwick has gone missing, believed kindapped. Her father, Charles, was making moves to set up Charlie and notorious London crime matriarch Ma Doherty's youngest son, Kieran, without knowing that Antonia and Charlie were an item.
On one hand there is a smart suited girl, the daughter of a mafia kingpin who is desperate to find her girlfriend, on the other, a desperate father looking for his beloved daughter.
In the middle, a girl who is way out of her depth with a disappearing trust fund.
And then the ransom note arrives...
Cleverly playing with notions of identity, parent and child relationships and expectations, this immaculately paced 'whodunnit' wrong foots you at every turn . Russell and Joe try to not only find Charlie before a gang war breaks out on their patch, they have to deal with the malevolent Detective Skinner who is determined to bring Russell and his boyfriend Freddie's relationship-and their careers- to its knees.
With a background of 80's nostalgia subtly dropped into the background, this very much has the feeling of its 1987 backdrop, and it is impossible not to read it and have the lyrics of the 1985 Madonna track which gives the novella its title, on a loop in your head.
One of my favourite scenes involves Charlie's mother pleading with them to find her daughter, convinced that she has run away to avoid being sent to a Swiss finishing school by her father. Her monologue on being married off, with no love or lust being part of the equation under the assumption that girls will grow up to be well behaved pawns for their parents is heartbreaking. It also explains why she anaesthetises herself with alcohol to avoid the reality of the gilded cage both she and her daughter live in.
I genuinely think it is the strongest story yet in the Soho Noir series,dealing as it does with how people think they are doing the right thing for someone they love, but when love and obsession mix, the fallout can be potentially fatal.
There are more Soho Noir titles in the pipeline so make sure you not only follow the tour for other outstanding book blog thoughts (all the details are in the blogtour poster) but sign up for the Red Dog Press newsletter, follow them on Twitter and tell TS Hunter just how much you enjoyed his work.
He develops main characters and minor alike without losing sight of the plot which is quite a feat in such a short space.
Because his love for the written word and the eighties is infectious, it really is apparent in every sentence he commits to the page.

After Tainted Love, Who’s That Girl and Careless Whisper, I’m sure everyone and their dog knows how much I love these novellas, and Crazy For You only further confirms what a great series this is and what a magnificent writer Toby Hunter is. Once again, he has managed to squeeze an inexorbitant amount of story in very few pages, yet never giving me the feeling of information overload, and despite the limited number of pages, never giving me the feeling of missing something. It’s a very delicate balance to maintain but for the fourth time in a row, our talented Mr. Hunter has pulled it off without a hitch.
Once again, I wanted to drop everything when Crazy For You arrived, but this time, I actually managed to control myself! Not because I wasn’t dying to dive in right away, oh no, August (Careless Whisper) might not be that long ago but it felt like ages waiting for no. 4! However, I remembered how annoyed I got every time someone interrupted my reading Careless Whisper, so I decided to keep Crazy For You for a night when I knew I’d be home alone, nobody around but my cat, so I could give Russell and Joe my undivided attention and savour their company. Best. Decision. Ever. I flew through it in little over an hour, and wanted to go straight back in!
Like I said last time, the fun thing about a series is that you feel at home with the characters, you feel like you know them, and getting stuck in a new instalment is like being reunited with old friends. Careless Whisper left Joe without a job and Russell with a love interest, so at the beginning of Crazy For You, we find Joe working part-time in the guys’ favourite bar, and Russell with a boyfriend (yay for Freddie!). Both of them are quite content, so obviously all the peace and quiet had to be broken. Once again, I found myself rooting for my guys, biting my lip in suspense, welling up a little at a certain scene as well.
With the disappearance of rich wild girl Charlotte, Joe and Russell are asked to track her down by two very different parties: Charlotte’s father, who wishes to keep things under wraps because he doesn’t want anything to taint his reputation, and Charlotte’s girlfriend, who is the daughter of a local gangster, so wants to keep the police at bay for obvious reasons. A very suspenseful investigation ensues, and while I had my theories (I ALWAYS have my theories), thing turned out not quite how I imagined they would (better, they turned out BETTER, there’s a reason I’m not an author, ya know 🙄).
Obviously, the man I love to hate, Detective Skinner, rears his ugly head again and doesn’t quite get the comeuppance I’ve been waiting for ever since Tainted Love in February. I swear, if Toby lets this series end with that *strong language deleted here* man in one piece, I’ll… *shakes fist menacingly and then sighs and hangs her head cos realises it’s an idle threat and she will still read anything Toby Hunter writes*
Right! So, in summary, this is a great addition to a great series, and if you haven’t read any of the Soho Noir novellas yet, I demand an explanation! I would not exactly recommend reading Crazy For You if you haven’t read the first three Soho Noir novellas, but I highly recommend you pick up the series!

A switch from the regular murders, leaving me wanting more. It is a good book, however compared to the previous ones this one lacks something, and mainly feels like a bit of a filler. It is somewhat predictable, figuring out who has been involved and who hasn't, but yet again T.S Hunter manages to throw in something I wasn't 100% ready for. A pleasant surprise in the end of a somewhat more dull book (when compared, to be clear.)

I am seriously in love with every one of these novellas in the Soho Noir series. I love the nostalgia with the book titles and the songs and I love Joe and Russell and to have them both back in my life well it was harmony. I have one gripe, only small, tiny even and maybe it’s more my fault butttttttttttt…….it was too short! I must have inhaled the book because one minute I had started the book the next thing I knew I was at the end of the book – I mean the what the hell!! I just can not get enough of this series!!!
This time I had guessed what was going on before Joe and Russell that I was urging them to hurry up and get that all-important light bulb moment to catch up. However, Russell had other things on his mind other than his case as something is not quite right with his extremely hot boyfriend Freddie.
A missing heiress who has got herself in a spot of bother with some unsavoury people, a turf war is threatening like a dark rain cloud ready to explode and Skinner seems to be wafted the edges. As you can see this book has EVERYTHING!! Joe and Russell have to work really low key on this case as Charles Fenwick, the father, the multi-millionaire, does not want this to get out under any circumstances.
One of my favourite things about Crazy for You is that Freddie got so much page time. I loved watching his character struggle with being two separate people, work Freddie and out of work Freddie. (Ok I didn’t love the struggle but I just loved him) He is a very well connected man and one probably not to be messed with but to see him hit where it hurts and for it to cause friction in his life was really upsetting. Whilst the story is to focus on the missing girl, I was more intrigued to know how Freddie was going to deal with his situation. In my eyes, he is my favourite, sorry Joe!
Ah, so we come to my favourite duo of the hour! Joe and Russell have come on leaps and bounds since we first met them in Tainted Love. Joe working in the Red Lion and Russell still moonlighting as a P.I. both have different contacts in the world, both have different ways of dealing with things but both still blow me away. The cases have not always been cut and dry, but unlike some books which are made to be a bit fanciful to add to the tension, here everything is discussed as every day people would. The thought process, the logic I followed completely because I was asking the same questions when new evidence or information was given to us.
I say it every time but boy I can not wait for the next book!! Hunter has created such a dynamic duo and with each novella bringing in new characters a bit more to make you care. I mean it started off with just Joe and Russell, now we have a whole group of guys who if anything happened to any of them would upset me….so how about nothing does! lol
I do have a feeling of dread for the next book though, with Skinner lingering and the next book being Killer Queen, I am just a little bit worried.

Noir is still a massively popular genre, though today it tends to be full of cliches and, often, sexism and racism with the original books being written decades ago. Crazy For You takes all the positives of Noir and gives it a modern spin. The feel of the genre is very much still there, from the plot to the descriptions of the character, but T.S. Hunter makes it his own.
The struggles of the LGBT+ community are highlighted well in Crazy For You. Simultaneously, it’s possible to see how far we have come since the 80’s, but also how things still have a way to go. T.S. Hunter manages to write about these issues without seeming preachy or feeling like he’s on an agenda. This series of books could do a lot for those that still don’t understand the struggles that are felt today.
The characters in the book feel like fully formed, real people, which can be rare in novellas and shorter books. You care about these people and are intrigued by everything that is going on in the plot. There’s real humanity between these pages.
One of my favourite things about this book is that even though it’s the fourth in the series, it stands alone really well. You can pick up this book and follow it easily as previous plots are mentioned in the past. Thankfully, there are no spoilers either, just enough information to let you understand what is going on between characters or in the past.
Overall, I don’t think I can praise this book enough. There’s a brilliant twisting plot, characters you can connect to and really important social history. I can’t wait to get my hands on Killer Queen, the next book in the series that I hear is being finished off right now.

Book 4 in the Soho Noir series by TS Hunter, but can easily be read as a stand-alone, but you will be missing out on a fantastic series.
In this tale, a young heiress, Charlotte goes missing, her father receives a ransom note …so where is she? Who has taken her?
Charlotte’s girlfriend, Antonia, approaches Joe Stone, to ask for his help finding Charlotte. Antonia is daughter to the gangster ‘The Lizard’….is this a turf war?
So, Joe and his friend and working partner, Russell start looking into the case, with a little help from Russell’s boyfriend Freddie.
Meanwhile, Russell’s nemesis, Detective Skinner is trying to cause trouble between Russell and Freddie…
Can Joe and Russell find Charlotte before any harm befalls her?
While this is only a relatively short novella there is no shortage of action in this cosy mystery. A marvellously twisty plot, with tension, fun and a little love too. Brilliant.
Thank you to Red Dog Press for the opportunity to take part in this blog tour, for the promotional material and a free copy of the ebook. This is my honest and unbiased review.

Thank you to the wonderful Red Dog Press for my copy of Crazy For You, the 4th in the Soho Noir series by T.S. Hunter.
Following on from the events in ‘Careless Whisper’, Joe and Russell return for a 4th slice of addictive 80s set Noir.
Joe is keeping his head down, working some shifts at the Red Lion, when he is approached by Antonia ’The Gecko‘ Lagorio, the daughter of legendary gangster, Tony ‘The Lizard‘ Lagorio.
She has a job for him that involves hunting down her missing girlfriend, Charlotte Fenwick, daughter of a famous millionaire, Charles Fenwick.
Meanwhile, Russell is approached by his new boyfriend, Freddie Gillespie, asking him to search for the very same girl, this time at her father’s request.
The Guys team up to hunt down and find the missing girl in this classic ‘whodunnit’
A clever plot, Joe is kept on his toes and always guessing as T.S. Hunter spins his mystery.
These books are so accessible, easy to pick up from any where in the series , though you would be missing out not reading them all. While not big in length, these brilliant Novellas are big in story!
Great crime capers, dripping with 80s nostalgia, the stories are great and also show the attitudes toward the LGBT community at that time.
I really love this series that is getting better by each book, the next can’t come soon enough!
Highly Recommended

This was probably the least interesting / engaging of the series to date. I was not all that interested in the fate of the kidnap victim and the reviled homophobic antagonist barely rated a mention (with a rather lame-duck attempt at professional reputation sabotage).

These books are lovely and snack size, refreshing in so many ways.
