RaveThe Mystery Tribune... takes us on a journey through the author’s history and shows what a stone cold master he is ... The stories all sing, all a pleasure to read. Some more than others. The weakest is the lead story from which the book takes its name- a gritty cop revenge tale called Broken. It’s as compelling and page turning as everything Winslow writes but feels like a movie you might watch on HBO in 1987...It’s style recalls his gut wrenching the novel The Force but with none of the nuance or moral complexity ... Others are pure magic ... A new Don Winslow book is a gift anytime it comes. Even more so a book that comes at a time when we are all alone, trying to keep away the bad thoughts while struggling for meaning and answers. A book that brings you joy, makes you laugh and makes you ponder is a balm for the soul.
