Ring A Ding Reviews
-
Like the previous Sam Stone I read this one is slick with some good dialogue but for me it read like an abridged version of a longer story. I wanted more description and development of certain parts of the plot. It's a cheap audiobook and so I'd say give it a go but I don't rate it very highly.

Good and evil
This book jumps subjects so often it was hard to follow an again he leaves you with no ending. But on the good side it is packed with old world detectives an situations which keeps you wanting more. I would love to hate him but I can't. I think he would be a great writer of his mind didn't move faster than his fingers typing. -
It would have been really awkward if I'd disliked this book, since Stone sent me a very kind email thanking me for my positive review of Humdinger on another forum.
Luckily, I needn't choose between honesty and politeness, because Stone did it again. His books are lean, mean, stripped-down engines of action and plunder. The characters are utterly believable, all the more so because they demonstrate their character in their deeds more than in their maunderings. This was the best thing I've read in weeks.
How does he do it? I have no idea, but I'm looking for more of his work. Mark my words: This is the Richard Stark of our era. I'm calling it now.
