Review | Bobby March Will Live Forever by Alan Parks

Blurb

WHO IS TO BLAME WHEN NO ONE IS INNOCENT?

The papers want blood.

The force wants results.

The law must be served, whatever the cost.

July 1973. The Glasgow drugs trade is booming and Bobby March, the city’s own rock-star hero, has just overdosed in a central hotel.

Alice Kelly is thirteen years old, lonely. And missing.

Meanwhile the niece of McCoy’s boss has fallen in with a bad crowd and when she goes AWOL, McCoy is asked – off the books – to find her.

McCoy has a hunch. But does he have enough time?

Review

 Absolutely pitch-perfect! If you are looking for a dark, gritty crime novel that totally captures you within its pages then look no further. 

This compelling read will transport you to 1970's Glasgow into the world of McCoy, a brilliant protagonist a bit rough around the edges and far from perfect but he has real heart making him the perfect anti-hero.

The plot is unforgettable, the dialogue is sharp and engaging. This was my first Harry McCoy novel but it certainly won't be my last. A gripping nerve-jangling thriller is a must-read for all crime readers out there! 

Thank-you Anne Cater & Canongate Books for sending me a copy in exchange for an open & honest review.
