O'Brien, M: The Dying Minutes

"The Dying Minutes is a tense and thrilling read, and one that had me on the edge of my seat all the way through" Bookbag "Crime writing is like the contents of a wine cellar. Some bottles are best saved for cleaning the bicycle chain. And then there are bottles like Chateau Lafite which are so exquisite that within a few sips, one is torn between devouring the bottle whole or putting it in a handcrafted leather carafe and sitting back and admiring it. The Dying Minutes by Martin O'Brien is a Chateau Lafite novel: this is high-end, literary crime... The Dying Minutes perfectly fits the market for the very literary, well-crafted and beautifully written novel" It's a Crime UK "In terse prose, O'Brien enshrouds the warm and sunny location with darkness, prefiguring harsh revenge and some brutal violence" Herald "I found this a very unusual police procedural, very evocative of the enticing French way of life - you could almost taste the hot buttered croissants and smell the French black coffee on every page - which makes this English author particularly original. I will certainly look out for more stories by Martin O'Brien in the future. Well Recommended" Eurocrime "Terrific" Northampton Chronicle and Echo
