MY THOUGHTS

Oh boy, he is back, Tommy Bennett, and I am smiling from ear to ear as I am sure the undertaker at Seatown must have been. Poor Tommy dreams of retirement but the proverbial carrot of just one more job turns into a bunch. Tommy is a sucker for doing a favour for a mate, of course with a price tag, as it all goes towards his retirement fund as it seems to get just out of reach each time.

The violence is lightened with the dry rugged humour that is embedded on every page along with music classics from yesteryear where it makes for an unforgettable melody of cracking entertainment. I always read these books twice to make sure that I don’t miss any the first time around because Paul Brazil has a subtle sense of humour that I sometimes miss. After all, I am still wrapped up in something that tickled me a couple of sentences back.

As tough as Tommy is, he is facing some pretty scary personal times himself in this story, which brings out his vulnerable side that he knows he doesn’t have control over. It makes you forget that he could have you turned into a pork pie or Sunday morning bacon butty at the blink of an eye. I want Tommy to be around for a long time to come.

These are modern-day classics to die for, absolutely love these books that I can read over and over again!
