THE BOOTLEGGER'S GODDAUGHTER
First industry review: 5 stars!
The Bootlegger’s Goddaughter.
by: Melodie Campbell
Raven Books.
The Bootlegger’s Goddaughter or The Hammer Humour strikes
again is the best in what can be described as the finest
compact mystery series out there. The writing is polished, the
funny bits sneak up on you and you’ve been had and then had
again before there’s time to recover.
It’s a big challenge to keep the writing fresh in a series:
no reliance on formula tweets, strong dialogue with bite and
the delivery of experienced stand up comedy, action
that doesn’t quit but most of all, story telling that feels
like you’re sitting in a small Hammer Italian hang out
listening to the latest miss-adventures of Gina and her gang.
Just a teaser of what’s in store: Gina is preparing for her
wedding. The groom has been vetted by the family. Gina is
robbed, cousin Jimmy has a heart attack and a truck full of
bootleg booze is stolen and Gina is shot at while she recovers
the load of beverages. The wedding is a blast. Entertainment
that delivers.
To sum it up, The Bootlegger’s Goddaughter is a miniature
gem, the work of an author at the absolute top of her
game. There is so much more to come from the imagination of
this talented writer. The Hammer’s been made over by Melodie
Campbell.
