By Any Means edition by Ben Sanders Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Loved the characters and plot lines. Fabulous descriptive turn of phrase - unique take on crime formula novel! Write more soon please!
Young Aucklander Ben Sanders, who juggled novel writing with his university civil engineering studies, burst onto the books scene with The Fallen, a gritty crime thriller that introduced Detective Sean Devereaux and ex-cop John Hale, and was packed with murder, kidnapping, and police corruption. All set amongst the seamy streets and suburbs of our largest city. By Any Means is the follow up to his #1 NZ bestselling debut.
In the first sentence, a bus driver is killed, shot by an unknown gunman on Auckland’s bustling Albert Street during Friday rush hour. Detective Sean Devereaux picks up the case, only to discover wildly conflicting witness accounts then a sense the victim wasn’t the true target. But then, who was? At the same time Devereaux is dealing with a double killing in the affluent suburbs the wife and daughter of a prominent finance company director. Murder-suicide or double homicide? The police turn their attention to the husband, but Devereaux has doubts. Meanwhile, John Hale is largely unavailable to assist, as he’s witnessed a kidnapping, and finds himself the target of a dogged senior police officer as he tries to do his own private investigations.
Sanders writes in a crisp and punchy style, powering a storyline that can hook you early and keep the pages whirring. He often has a very nice way with words when it comes to pithy descriptions of people and places, using some vivid imagery, although at times some of the travel around Auckland, and the use of musical references, can get a touch too ‘listy’, which could bother some readers. Overall, By Any Means is a solid sophomore effort, and shows that Sanders is no one-hit wonder. I’m certainly looking forward to the next Sean Devereaux and John Hale tale.
This was a good read and I liked the fact that it was based in Auckland and I was familiar with the landmarks
PI and unconventional detective combine in a fast-movie example of their respective genres, all set in the familiar geography of Auckland, New Zealand. I really enjoyed it.
Have now read three of Ben's books. Can't thank my friend enough for putting me onto him! Thoroughly enjoyed all three! He has a great talent.
I never thought I'd find myself excited to read about anything set in Auckland. Ben Sanders is quickly becoming a master of the crime writing trade and I can't wait to see where he takes it next.
I enjoyed this, but not enough to give it 5 stars. I read it,as a stand alone-- I couldn't tell how it fit into the context of a trilogy.
