Low Town: The Straight Razor Cure: Low Town 1

Product Information

The writing is rich not spare, the dialogue sharp, the characters always convincingly true to themselves. It is a book that enveloped and absorbed me and, too near the end, I realised I should have book marked more quotes to share - but then let other readers find them for themselves. I did note this one just as one exemplar of what I liked in the writing. A descriptor of a guest at a debauched party for the jaded rich, "Up close she looked like someone better seen from further away." The house is distinguished by its towering 16th-century chimneys, and has an aisled, timber Great Hall from the 1400s, predating the rest of the building. Now, I figured out the identity of who the bad guy was before the end. I’m thinking about halfway or so, and I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but this didn’t detract at all from the pleasure of the story. I had the broad strokes in mind but learning the minutia at the reveal was fun, too.

This next paragraph is not quite a spoiler, but may spoil the book if you read it, so read at your own risk: Is the piece good or bad? Forget objectivity, taste plays too big of a role to determine the objective value of a piece. Instead, assessing a piece's goal is more valuable; every piece has a goal/intent no matter how small. These goals are often the promises made in a book's synopsis or movie's trailer, but other times a goal can be the successful conveyance of metaphor as well.Documentation: understanding of the monument is enhanced by the excavations in 1969-1970 and the archaeological survey carried out in 2001. After withstanding the siege for three weeks, the Royalists surrendered on 1 April 1646, before the tunnel could be completed. However, his life will change once again when a morning, going to his usual place, falls onto the body of Little Tara, a young girl who had disappeared for days, murdered, and used in the cruelest way for the desires of a twisted mind, Warden will have to call his old colleagues - some who from their last encounter left him beraly alive - to take up this case as only they can solve. The novel is very successful in its world-building. The place is even more interesting and claustrophobic than the characters, and this is pretty much a character-driven tale where no one is quite good enough. I mean, how heroic is it going to be when a main character is a drug pusher?

On Mill Street in the Low Town is an antiques centre in a building attached to an auction house with more than 170 years of history. Continue up the High Street and you will see Northgate ahead of you, the only one of the five gateways into the town which still exists. In the burgess’s hall above is a museum which, from 1st November 2007, become the first independent museum in Shropshire to be given accreditation by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council and, if you’re visiting between Easter and October, is well worth a visit. Completed in 1795, this Renaissance Revival church was designed by Thomas Telford, a Scottish architect and civil engineer. I honestly feel a little bad that I didn’t like this. I mean the writing is there. It is really the type of writing style that I generally enjoy with some real depth to it. The building that houses the Old Mill Antiques Centre is substantial and is listed. Used previously as The Ridley Seed Company premises and seed mill, The Old Mill is fronted by a 16th Century Gentleman’s Town House. The Centre has recently been extensively refurbished to a very high standard and has approximately 40 antiques dealers over four floors.Approaching the Low Town from the foot of Borough Bank, the New Quay and Duke Street run off to the right, while a ‘canyon’ effect marks the journey to the left through a narrow winding road via Clive Street, Liddell Street, Bell Street to the Western Quay to include Union Quay, Union Road and Tanners Bank. I will say it’s a mystery story set in a fantasy world where magic is involved but I’m not going to give any further plot reveals away. Sorry.... them’s my rules. This is a story where Fantasy fans can get a taste of a hard boiled PI sort of character, with a good blend of dystopia and detective work in Low Town. The main protagonist is a Gritty been there and got the shirt detective Ex Low Town Government Special Services operative. He's now a man people fear on the streets, and is hired by the powers that be to find a murderer. The story is a straight forward search for killer story blended with a different setting, new rules and some new kind of characters to the long existing detective genre.
