Trouble de Ville

Trouble de Ville
Steven Denton
PHD Publishing

The publisher describes this book as quirky, and for once, that is not synonymous with rubbish. This is a wonderful and rather amusing murder romp in the South. The daft cast includes part-time lesbians, happy-clappy loon preachers and their followers, internet porn-merchants, internet racist merchants and an "alternative" book-store. The book is fast paced, edgy and laugh out loud funny with a twist of the noir. That type of book where you find yourself reading just one more chapter at 4am. Denton has produced one of the most enjoyable pieces of contemporary fiction I have read in a rather long while. I, for one, look forward to his next foray into fiction.

Rating: 5/5

I think you could do worse that download the latest from the Painkillers as a soundtrack.
