What people say about This Side of Death:
~ This is another great book, written with Barrett’s usual attention to detail and sprinkled
liberally with a super-sized helping of Eddie’s black humour.
~ Having the talent to weave a tale interspersed with humor among sometimes grotesque elements of an edgy thriller, never ceases to amaze me.
~ This latest chapter of Eddie Collins’ life is a fantastic thrill-ride, full of suspense and just enough gut-wrenching terror to keep you up at night. Unputdownable.
~ The many twists and turns kept me guessing, right up to the final sting in the tail. A brilliant read.
~ The ending of this book left me breathless. I was nearly exhausted. My reaction was WOW!!!
~ One of Barrett's real writing talents is to put you in the place and time of an event, not to mention in the middle of a scene. You can feel the rain, empathize with the pain, taste the dust, see the stars.
~ If you read this book, or any of the books that feature Eddie Collins, you will not be disappointed. You may even, like me, become addicted.
~ Despite the dark, dangerous criminal there is quite a lot of humour woven in between the more tension-filled parts.
~ I was amazed at how clearly the author described what was going through Alex’s mind through colours, voices, spikes, pain.
