Killing Dylan By Alastair Puddick Kindle Edition Humor and Comedy Killing Dylan Someone is trying to kill celebrated author Dylan St James. But who would want him dead? And why? And who the hell shoots someone with a harpoon, anyway? Disgruntled, failed crime writer, Freddie Winters, spends his days conning old ladies, setting up fake book signings, sneaking into literary festivals uninvited and lamenting his lack of success. When his old Friend, Dylan, turns to him for help, Freddie agrees to use his own limited detective skills to find out who’s behind the murder attempt. With a group of suspicious ex wives, a jealous rival, a crazed stalker fan and an exploding postman to deal with, Freddie soon stumbles upon a catalogue of crazy behaviour and a truly bizarre motive for murder. But can he stop the killer before it’s too late?

Very amusing with an occasional hilarious flourish. Killing dylanesque bryan This is the second novel written by author Alistair Puddick I ve read and enjoyed both of them though I thought the first one The Unexpected Vacation of George Thring had a tendency to drag on a bit from time to time In Killing Dylan the author does a much better job of keeping things moving while still keeping his unique style I ve already got his third book queued up on my reading list. Killing dylandogofili My recommendation is to download the free sample The overall tone of the book is pretty consistent so you should know fairly quickly if this is one for you This is grown up stuff Strong language.

I loved the hero a failed grumpy some way rude and greedy writer who is trying to find out who wants to kill his old friend The writing is light humorous descriptive and easy to follow I d say the book is a very relaxing read and should make you smile Kindle Edition I was a big fan of Alastair Puddick s first novel The Unexpected Vacation of George Thring It had good unique characters and a very clever and quirky story Because I enjoyed it so much my expectations for this one Killing Dylan were pretty high. Killing dyland rounds While there are certainly a lot of parts of it that I enjoyed it was a bit of a disappointment for me The plot was fine enough and it had some very clever and amusing moments but I struggled with the main character Freddie I ve seen some other reviewers say that they hated Freddie I didn t quite hate him but I often found it a struggle to like him I know that readers are not always going to like every character but when the character is the one telling the story it does help to have them be likeable since you re spending so much time with them If I don t like a character then it s hard for me to care about them or the story Like I said earlier the story itself was very good in parts I just wish I d cared about it as I read it. Killing dylane Having said all of that I still think Alastair Puddick is a very talented writer and I m looking forward to reading by him He tells good quirky stories that are very unique I may not have connected well with the main character in this one but this is just one book I already have Puddick s next novel 46% Better Than Dave on my To Be Read list and I ll be reading it very soon I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for a fair review Kindle Edition 2. Killing dylanco I received an ARC through NetGalley for an honest review Many thanks to the publisher Raven Crest Books Kindle Edition Aside from the author s amusing to an immature mind anyway name the main draw here was the premise and the cover both quirky and attention attracting And indeed the book lived up to its cover premise Certainly not a sure thing these days but there it is This was a genuinely fun story Someone is in fact actively trying to kill Dylan And Dylan is the nicest guy too His career as an author is a wild success ladies like him all his ex wives seems to agree And yet it s just too dangerous to be Dylan So much so that he has to resort to hiring his former friend Freddie Winters to find out what s going on Freddie s pretty much Dylan s opposite failed author crap with the opposite sex not anyone s idea of a nice guy His sole qualifications for the job seems to be his career writing crime thrillers Plus he s desperate enough for the money to do whatever it takes And so Freddie limited skills or not sets off to find out who s trying to off his imminently likeable once upon a time bestie Which takes him through a gamut of friends lovers and associates all invariably entertainingly odd And there you have it a crime novel set in a literary world Charming and humorous despite having a thoroughly sh te morally reprehensible sort of protagonist and being completely mile away predictable as to who the would be killer is Seriously those two factors would usually be huge detractors for me often unsurmountable but somehow this book managed to get right past that on pure charm and jocular flippancy Yeah the plot is wildly far fetched and yeah it would have been nice for the plot twists to be thoroughly obscured and challenging to puzzle out but Freddie you actually get used to Freddie unapologetic scoundrel that he is he even has something of a redeeming moment there Overall it was just a really fun read and a quick one too Your mind may not be blown your socks may stay on but you will be entertained Thanks Netgalley Kindle Edition I started this with hope for an entertaining read A second rate crime writer is approached by his best friend who he had lost contact with to try and find out who is aiming to kill the latter It is a fast read and has some moments in it however it is very predictable I one who was responsible for the planning if not the perpetration almost from the outset I didn t hat it but it isn t great either Kindle Edition
