Slow Roll

Reviewed by Karen (retired Bookseller) O'Mally, a professional gambler, sometimes private investigator. Unwittingly falls under the radar of drug dealers, gangs and police.

Set in Auckland, O'Mally finds himself in aggressive & life threatening situations. Claire, his intelligent and intriguing girlfriend, is the perfect partner to deal with trouble as the drama rapidly intensifies.

An intense, lively and very entertaining crime novel, I very much enjoyed.

It seemed a simple request. "Can you find my daughter who has run away?" But for professional gambler O'Malley, life isn't that simple.

There is the murder of one of his poker partners, the attention of drug dealers, money launderers, the police, the gangs, and just to top it all off there is his intriguing girlfriend Claire, who just seems to be better at part-time sleuthing than he is.

No, nothing is simple for O’Malley.

A brilliantly written and intriguing debut crime novel, set in Auckland and featuring two lead characters with intelligence and empathy who just leave you wanting more to read.
