Barry Crowther's novella NOTHING leaves me breathless.It's quite the roller coaster ride with a tightly written, fast-paced plot. A very dark story with a unique style that took me some time to adjust to in the beginning but then it took hold and I finished it in one sitting. My introduction to Crowther came in his first novel,Missing (The Matt Spears Mysteries). Another terrific read!NOTHING is a very different style, but highly effective and entertaining. The main character is in search of his sister's murderer and along the journey you meet a real range of sleazebags, scum, and other assorted lowlifes. The author has definite talent and a way with words and action that grabs you by the throat and never lets go.A noir tour de force.
