A fun read but too many lucky coincidences and parts of the plot were a little too obvious. ( ) Charles "Shake" Bouchon, professional wheel man, does not take long to get back into trouble after he is released from prison. Soon we have a snare of thieves trying to outwit thieves. But this is the most lovable bad guy imaginable and he was created by a great story teller. And so it is with great joy that I discovered Shake is a series character and his second adventure is already out. Yeah!
Gutshot Straight isn’t quite great, but it’s very close... [It] zigs and zags more than enough to hold readers’ attention, and Berney is an able hand at the sort of cons that drive solid caper fiction, and interested in examining why those cons work so well. Gehört zur ReiheShake (1)
"Lou Berney's novel is so energetic, so droll, and so wheezingly funny that it accomplished what no book ever has before: it made me forget to eat lunch." --Stephen Harrigan, New York Times bestselling author of Challenger Park A fast and funny caper in the tradition of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and the Coen Brothers, Gutshot Straight brings a fresh new talent into the crime fiction fold: Louis Berney. He's already won raves for his short fiction collection The Road to Bobby Joe and Other Stories ("Rivals the work of contemporary hotshots T.C. Boyle and Ralph Lombreglia" --Chicago Tribune). With Gutshot Straight, Berney is "all in"--sure to win a fervent following with the story of "Shake" Bouchon, fresh out of prison and on the straight and narrow path...after maybe just one last job.
