Eyrie Brown is a cabbie (a cab driver) in London, a former soldier trying to forget the past and failing miserably. He lives an ordinary life until he meets Lewis Brue, a local killer, in a dark alley while it is pouring. After that meeting, his life turns into a race, fast forward. The game-changer is a girl called Toni Curtis, like the actor, but with an i not with an y. She loves Tony Curtis’ movies, she is young, and she is hot. Eyrie must protect her throughout the weekend. But what could possibly happen in less than three days? However, after reading a few pages you’ll ask yourself ‘what is not going to happen?’ You’ll have to read it to the end to find out.
Molls like it hot by Darren Dash is an adventure about the London crime, where no one is as they look like, and nothing happens by chance. Friendship, love, vengeance, cruelty, and kindness permeate the whole novel until the final twist. It is a story in first person, so we read it thought Eyrie’s eyes. The book is in first person, which is not my favourite narrating voice, but I barely noticed. That means the author was good enough to make me forget about how much it annoys me. It actually never did. Good and bad characters’ stories entwine between themselves in a fast reading—I finished the book in two days. If you want to lose yourself inside the criminal a London atmosphere this book is for you.
