Robin Hood Yard having read the previous two novels involving the same protagonist, I had difficulty with the rapid appearance of so many new characters. The narrative mentioned past Robin Hood Yard people harmed and compromising photographs used as a threat. Another problem was the dialogue, sometimes Robin Hood Yard lines without speech tags, leaving me to wonder who had spoken and to ponder the meaning behind the terse words.

Even so, a journalist with a friend in the police, working inmakes a very good basis for a thriller. And there is plenty of action. Jun 01, Tom Lindsay rated it it was ok. This book cannot be read as a stand-alone. There are too many interplays between characters which make little sense unless a prior novel in the series has been read. That there are two interwoven stories seems a reasonable premise, but the one story is let down by having no substance - just a rather contrived issue - and the other makes little sense. There are too many unexplained situations and lost plot lines for the book to be wholly enjoyable. Apr 20, Paul rated it really liked it Shelves: crime-thrillers. This is the City of London before concrete and glass took over, this is the City in which people still lived and made things to sell, amongst the financial sector workers, in the dark backstreets and alley ways, Pubs and Robin Hood Yard that are no longer there as well as some that are still around today. Investigative Johnny Steadman is the best crime reporter on the Robin Hood Yard News, and he does do well out of his friend who he has been friends with since his Robin Hood Yard days and a detective, Matt Turner. Leo Adler is about to become the next Lord Mayor of London and with the war clouds gathering over Europe and rumours of how the Jews are being treated in Germany, a Jewish banker is set to take over at the Mansion House. In the weeks before anti-Semite attacks on Bevis Marks Synagogue as well as on Adler himself, who also is sent various items to cause distress. What Steadman discovers could bring not only Britain to her knees but quite a few City types while putting him in danger. While Steadman runs his two investigations, Turner investigating the Robin Hood Yard there is another story of blackmail taking place that causes intrigue which enables you to question the integrity of one or more institutions. Ye Old Mitre, an establishment even I have frequented, is mentioned quite a few times as are a few places that were either destroyed during the war or worse by city Robin Hood Yard. What all this adds up to is a fast paced thriller in which we get everything a reader could want, Robin Hood Yard bodies, conspiracy theories all played out in the shadow of war. The language used is evocative of a lost age and the imagery that it gives off is the dark seedier side of London and the City, this Robin Hood Yard the London before the planners really got their hands on it. This book may only be two hundred odd pages long but it certainly packs a punch that is an entertaining read, one that I cannot recommend highly enough. View 1 comment. Jan 08, Phil Brett rated it liked it. An enjoyable read, with a serial killer, political machinations and police corruption in London. Having connections with Islington, it was especially pleasing for me to see Robin Hood Yard get regularly name-checked. Other minor quibbles include whether working class Londoners in the thirties would be drinking Perrier, using the word soccer, or indeed having such enlightened liberal opinions. That said, when other people bring suc An enjoyable read, with a serial killer, political machinations and police corruption in London. That said, when other people bring such nit-picking Robin Hood Yard, it does provoke my eyes rolling and muttering, "It's a thriller, not a history book". Worth checking out. May 24, Cerisaye rated it liked it Shelves: crime-historicalm-m. The Robin Hood Yard and not-so-good things I found in the previous two books in this series also apply to the third. I don't have much more to say. Although the novels can be read as stand-alones I recommend reading them in order because their best feature is Robin Hood Yard characterisation of journalist Johnny Steadman and his relationship with BFF police Robin Hood Yard, Matt Turner. Secondary characters are not so well fleshed outparticularly female ones. The setting might be London in but themes of antisemitism, righ The good and not-so-good things I found in the previous two books in this series also apply to the third. The setting might be London in but themes of antisemitism, right-wing extremism, homophobia, police corruption and financial skulduggery are relevant to current events. Beware of graphic content that might be too much for some readers. May 23, Trevor Kenning rated it it was ok. Reasonable story let down by turgid writing. Sep 30, Carmela Biscuit rated it it was ok Shelves: The most boring of the trilogy. Half way through I had almost decided to drop it, but soldiered on to the end, feeling totally indifferent to the plot development.
