Review: Why did I take so long to read this?
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 8, 2012
This is a very ably written thriller, fast-paced and consistently interesting. Take great art of the Italian Renaissance, throw in a 21st-century crime family reminiscent of the Borgias, a trace of darkness, a lot of murder, and you have a good read for a rainy day, such as today, when I finished Take No More while waiting in line for gasoline. With able, flawless prose, a good plot structure, and clearly understandable characters and motivations, this novel is a satisfying way to spend an afternoon. What happens to Ridley -- would like to do that to the guy at the gas station...  Good job, Seb Kirby.
