MY REVIEW:
I received an advance copy of The Dark Side of the Road
from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book is published by Severn
House Publishers.
Simon R Green. Another new one on me. Picked this up
after seeing a few friends had enjoyed it and thought I would too. I’m still
undecided as to whether I did or not.
Ishmael Jones works for the “Organisation”. His
boss/handler is simply known as “The Colonel”. Ishmael takes his jobs from The
Colonel. Jobs that involve hunting people down. Jobs that sometimes involve killing
these people. He is sort of like the James Bond of the dark world.
The Colonel unexpectedly invites Ishmael to his family
home, Belcourt Manor, for Christmas. Ishmael has no idea why. All he knows is
the Colonel is scared of some dark horror that has come to Belcourt Manor. He
wants Ishmael to seek it out and destroy it.
By the time he arrives The Colonel is missing and Ishmael
is surrounded by strangers with secrets. One of them is a killer. Ishmael needs
to closely guard his own secrets while trying to figure out who the killer is,
and try and stop them before they strike again.
