My Review:
I am going to start and end this review with one word...WOW!
This is my first time reading anything by author Graham Smith and I was impressed! No Comment is the fifth book in the DI Harry Evans series which is set in Cumbria. I was able to enjoy this novella without having read the previous books. But I will be going back and reading the rest in the series. First and foremost, as an owner myself of a three-legged cat I just want to give a shout-out to Tripod, the three-legged dog in this story owned by former DI Harry Evans. I loved the realistic and believable characters of the Major Crimes Team. I appreciated how the author was able to express the feelings of former DI Evans. I felt bad for him being in retirement and still wanting to feel that he is needed. Although I liked all the characters my favorite would have to be Harry Evans. I liked his edginess and how he isn’t all about policy and procedure. Harry is just interested in catching the bad guys and if some rules get broken along the way…then so be it. I love books with realistic dialogue between characters and this one was spot-on.
I spent the whole book trying to figure out who the perpetrators were and why they did what they did. My attention was piqued at chapter one and stayed that way until I finished. Little by little the author gave us more information but I was guessing right until the end. And what about that ending you ask?…again one word…WOW!
No Comment is one of those books that you can’t stop thinking about once it’s over. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves crime fiction. I will definitely be reading more from author Graham Smith and he is going on my list of favorite authors.
