Sugar Lee demonsugar — The problem that I had with this book is that I had no respect for the characters. They were all a little too pathetic in their own way, and they weren't very smart. It was hard to sympathize with them when they had such a huge hand in creating their own bad situations.

Sima Simic simasimic — 'Wyatt took the stairs. The lift was available, but lifts were a trap. He went straight to the first-floor apartment’s concealed safe and removed the contents: spare cash, two sets of false ID and the deeds to both properties. Finally he grabbed the dark suit hanging in his wardrobe. There was nothing else that he wanted to take with him when he left the place forever, no photos, diaries, letters or other keepsakes, for the simple reason that he had no past that he wanted to think about.' Enigmatic and elusive, Wyatt is an old-fashioned robber and heist man with no room in his life for friends, relationships or sentimentality. He makes for great reading, although we know almost nothing about him. A few chapters into this novel I realised Wyatt had done nothing more than attempt a snatch and grab and buy a stolen handgun, and yet I was riveted. I found myself turning the pages compulsively to find out what this anti-hero would do next, and how. Soon a seemingly simple jewel heist falls in his lap. What could go wrong? Naturally, everything. The flaw in this otherwise excellent crime novel is the weak and unconvincing women. Wyatt’s world is peopled by strippers, vacuous shop assistants, double-crossed ladies in need of saving, an overmatched female cop with an ill-fitting bra, and women ‘teetering on high heels and inexperience’. They range from unfortunate to downright dumb, and far too many end up naked and vulnerable to an unsympathetic man at some point in the story. The focus on the female form - without substance – seemed at times to border on the pathological. Good noir need not be so relentlessly old-school macho. Wyatt suffers for it.
