Chamson Aube vectoramor27f7 — Simple and interesting story plot with simple english! =)Bought in 2006 and reread every year since then.

Sharkeith Barr _eithkanji — Equal parts whodunit, murder mystery and caper novel, with a dash of conspiracy thriller elements, a la The Da Vinci Code. But that's where any equality ends. The Charlestown Connection goes beyond all of those to reach new heights in crime fiction. And this is a debut novel? Tom MacDonald, where have you been hiding? Imagine debuting in the major leagues by pitching to Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski and Jimmie Foxx, sticking with the Boston theme. Now, imagine you struck out the side on nine pitches. That's what Tom MacDonald has done by choosing to walk the hallowed grounds of Boston's Charlestown neighborhood, the turf of such super stars as Robert B. Parker, Dennis Lehane and Chuck Hogan, you fellas can move over and make room at the top, because Tom MacDonald deserves a seat. I'm not sure I have ever read a better debut novel. Mr. MacDonald set the bar high, then cleared it in Superman fashion. This book just jumped the turn stiles to move to the front of the line for best crime fiction of the year. Both hardboiled and noir, without using the usual clichés. It achieves a hardboiled "feel" through setting, an edginess, a sense of realness and the development of the characters. It gets it's "noir-ness" not through the usual morally bankrupt cast of characters (indeed, even the bad guys have a certain shady attractiveness) nor through the commission of evermore despicable and lewd crimes until the protagonist is so irredeemable that the devil considers retirement. No, it gets that feeling of noir through a certain sense of stoicism by the main players, a sense of darkness in the setting inside one of America's largest public housing neighborhoods and in Charlestown's colorful, troubled, and criminal past as well as the mix of cultures. Where most hardboiled fiction is dialog driven , "Charlestown" has full grown characters and is more developed through the internal dialog, and observations of the protagonist, than on snappy one liners and tougher than tough tough guys. Although some of the life situations of the main characters will be familiar i.e. a recovering alcoholic hero, a paraplegic side kick, they are either not over done or are used in such an original and fresh way as to avoid any thoughts of cliché. And where noir tends to have a reliance on dark, brooding themes, a certain decay in the souls of the characters and a reliance on sex and sexual themes, or at the very least degenerate crimes and sins to drive the plot, this novel achieves that familiar sense of darkness without resorting to sensationalism, melodrama or gothic language. From the opening paragraph, one of the best I have read in awhile, MacDonald establishes his debt to the greats of both those genre, while resolutely pointing the way towards the future and where, with a bit of artistry and a masters creativity, the genres can go. The plot twists and red herring abound, but even the most experienced and adept at figuring out the puzzle, will be surprised, yet all the clues are there. Employing all of the best elements from multiple branches of the crime fiction/thriller family tree against a historical backdrop of Charlestown and one of the most daring true crimes ever perpetrated, in addition to craftsmanship not usually found in a first time author, MacDonald has carved out a spot for himself at the very top. He is not an up and coming author, he arrived in style. Get used to seeing his name, because this author is going to be around for a long, long time. The Dirty Lowdown

Fatama Faruke fatema20157bef — I really loved it. It has such good writing.

Sung Am mcpsa — the only book to almost make me vomit.

Meilan Zeng oceanfish77 — Not so sure about the "non-religious" portion of the title, but he does a fairly good job of being objective as a believer. I have been interested in christian writing because I don't get those people.
