31/3/2018 0 Comments Review: Framed
My Review:I am a fan of thrillers and love the nostalgia of notorious gangsters à la The Krays. However, snooker champion Ronnie O’Sullivan’s debut novel Framed would have probably passed me by unread had it not been for Victoria Sadler’s rave review of Double Kiss (the follow-up to Framed, and second book of the Soho Nights trilogy). “Double Kiss by snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan may well be one of the best commercial crime novels I’ve read this year!”
Set in the nineties, it is lovely to relive the Soho I remember, rather than 1960s gangland London before my time. Framed focusses on Frankie James, and the stitch-up of his little brother Jack. I finished it in a couple of leisurely days by the pool. It is a thoroughly decent thriller, the characters and dal and believable and the story had me guessing and changing my whodunits from chapter to chapter as the drama raced to a climax. I’ll definitely be back for the second instalment of the Soho Nights trilogy.
