Great book love the writing style

What a great character Mick Flanagan is. Pretty tough eh? The to get on the wrong side of him. This is a good read. Warrens writing style is descriptive and unique. I really enjoyed the book and am going to read the next one. Good one mate

Good Aussie action packed read

Slow start but then made up for it with fast pace, action packed violence and retribution.
Enjoyed the characters and the typical Aussie humour 😀

Did start off slow but did pick up the pace. Kept forgetting it was set in Australia. The style of writing reminded me a bit of William Mcilvenny. I think I'd like to read more in this series.

With nothing to live for and nothing to lose, Flanagan is a fearsome adversary. For the testosterone-spiked ride of your life, hop aboard his pursuit of those who have done his kinfolk wrong.

I love the idea, but the style left me cold. this book needs a strong literary editor to tighten up the consistency of the characters and the plot.
