Customer Reviews
The blackbird
Loved it, as usual David raker dose not disappoint, I loved the Rebekah Murphy story and can’t wait to follow that up. Blackbird was dark and grimy like it should be, poor Healy I hope he comes out of this unscathed.
Confusing
Too much jumping about, too many characters….gave up after 500 odd pages.
The Blackbird
Oh dear - what a contrived ending that made the whole book a waste of time reading. If I had known that was the cause of the car crash I would have stopped on page ten. Read it if you like but prepare to be very disappointed at the end.
