Dead Men and Broken Hearts
Dead Men and Broken Hearts: A Lennox Thriller | Craig Russell
6 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
November 1956. The world is in turmoil. While the Suez Crisis and the Hungarian Uprising boil away in the background, Lennox has more immediate concerns, like getting his personal life, and his business, back on track. So, when a woman comes into Lennox's office and hires him to follow her husband, whom she suspects of leading a double life, it seems the perfect case. Straightforward, typical - if a little sordid - and most of all, legal. But as he begins to dig deeper, Lennox realizes that this is no ordinary case of marital infidelity. He finds himself caught by the police in a room with a dead body; pursued by shadowy members of the intelligence community; and once more a target of the Three Kings, the crime bosses who between them run Glasgow's underworld. Lennox must again draw on the violent, war-damaged part of his personality that he has tried to keep buried, in order to survive...

Great title, great setting, great main character. I enjoyed this book immensely and would recommend it for those who like mysteries set in Scotland and those who prefer the Lew Archer school of PI (Lennox's voice reminded me of Lew.)

LauraBrook Is this part of a series? 8y
rabbitprincess @LauraBrook Yes, it's actually the fourth in the series and an important one in terms of character development. The first book is called Lennox. 8y
LauraBrook Thanks, rp! Adding it to the list now. 😊 8y

Not very far in and I've already chuckled at least once per two-page spread. I like this Lennox fellow!
