My latest crime novel is ASK THE DICE, a hit man noir set in Washington, D.C. The following reviews have appeared:
"The story takes unique turns and creates characters with unique quirks, personalities and motivations that take the story in different directions than one would expect...this is an entertaining read, with enough feeling to draw you into Tommy Mack’s life and root for his success." 4/5 Stars
-Ron Thomas Brown, Crime Fiction Lover
"Ed Lynskey’s latest slice of noir evokes memories of Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer and feels like it should be set in the days of Al Capone and Elliot Ness. Infused with melodious jazz tones it transports the reader into a smoky world populated by shady characters but don’t be fooled, this is a modern-day tale...Surprisingly the story comes across as rather poignant, the main character is very engaging and the explosive finale provides a final round knockout." 4/5 Stars
-Ricky Ward, Rics Reviews
"The story is rich, but told in spare, lean prose reminiscent of Ken Bruen or Robert B. Parker. Nicely done."
-Jack Quick, bookbitch.com and 4 Mystery Addicts (4MA) Yahoo Group
"Artful blend of noir and contemporary crime fiction...This is not one of those books where you anticipate the plot from the get go; the storyline and characters are complex and surprising." 4/5 Stars
