John Eidemak’s ‘Goodbye Morality’ is as engaging as it is irresistible—think Mario Puzo’s ‘The Godfather’ but set in the UK yet nevertheless more violent, and you still only scratch the surface of this sweeping tale of betrayal, greed, and power.In ‘Goodbye Morality’, you find John Forbes and his rags-to-riches rise through criminality. He forges alliances and cuts off deadwood and often, you’re left standing there gaping over how he does things. Forbes is a character you rarely see in literature these days—you constantly vacillate between hating him and admiring him. What makes this book such an immersive reading experience is how the author Eidemak chooses the slow burn instead of the flashy kind of narrative—the build-up is just about right and oh-so-satisfying. Especially in those pivotal moments when you’d wonder whether or not the main character could get away with it. Ultimately, however, like Napoleon Bonaparte, John Forbes is hounded by the consequences of his life choices, and the way the book ends—in my personal opinion—is why ‘Goodbye Morality’ is deserving a literary award somewhere.Highly recommended to fans of the crime thriller genre who demand something more from the usual servings they find on Kindle, ‘Goodbye Morality’ is that rare book you’ll tell friends about. Get a copy today—sending this as a gift to friends and loved ones would be a great gesture of your taste in literature, so consider that. Two thumbs up!
