Review: Worth a look
Rating: 4 out of 5

My reading has slowed of late so I was after something short and snappy to boost my numbers and dig me out of a mini-mini slump. Cop Shot, an author giveaway on Amazon about a year ago seemed to fit the bill – 55 pages long and either a long short story or a shortish novella.Page 2 or 3, hard to tell when you are reading on a kindle and I outwardly groaned after the 3rd mention of “jersey barriers”…………oh dear – the shape of things to come? Thankfully not. After this irritating repetition the story developed into an entertaining read.David DeLeeDead cop, decent cop, IAD cop, bent cop, divorced cop, drunken, weak cop………murder, family, affairs, porn, video, blackmail, revenge, children, mutual suspicion and a resolution.Decent plot-line, interesting characters, well-written in spite of minor gripe above, a few surprising twists and a satisfying conclusion. All in all, not a bad way to spend an hour or hour and a half of reading time.If time allowed I’d be interested in seeing something full length from the author. (On the basis that I have more books though than you can shake a stick at, it might be an unlikely occurrence though.)Overall, after a shaky start 4 from 5Free download from Amazon UK.
