MATT HILTON - GENIUS AT VILLAINS

Hi folks,

Still working on a post about my adventures in Texas, but in the meantime, I want to shout the praises of the most recent Matt Hilton thriller I just finished. I've read everything Matt has out and just want him to write faster--I'm jonsing for another one!

I was fortunate enough to meet Matt at the Bouchercon in Cleveland--at least I think it was in Cleveland, although with my memory, it could have been in Albany. We kept trying to get together to drown some suds, but alas, never were able to. Next time...

Here's the blurb I recently gave him for NO GOING BACK...

http://www.amazon.com/No-Going-Back-Matt-Hilton/dp/1444712683/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1400963075&sr=1-1&keywords=matt+hilton+no+going+back
Blurb for NO GOING BACK



I had to read the ending of Matt Hilton’s latest thriller, NO GOING BACK, more than once. Why? To avoid nightmares, that’s why. To become as reasonably sure as I could be that Hilton’s latest villain, Samuel Logan, has been incapacitated. I think he is, but one can never be sure with a Hilton bad guy. The best-named bad guy in literary history—and yes, I’m aware of a guy named Hannibal Lector—is, hands-down, Tubal Cain. That sucker just kept coming back and coming back… Logan is a worthy heir. For one thing, you can shoot him a bunch of times and the guy doesn’t even feel it. Just keeps on coming after you. How are you going to go to sleep knowing he’s out there somewhere? I’ll tell you what—I love reading Lee Childs’ thrillers, but for the life of me I have a hard time remembering who Jack Reacher went up against. With Joe Hunter, I know all of ‘em, up close and personal to where I can describe their breath. Hot and nasty, just like they all are.. Dantalion, Luke Rickard and Tubal Cain—just aren’t folks you forget when you put the book down. Samuel Logan extends Hilton’s legacy once again. This is just a superb thriller It's the poster child for thrillers. I lost a lot of sleep as I couldn’t lay my head down until I finished it. Wondering if Samuel Logan is perhaps still out there will most likely cost me some more uneasy nights.

That's it, but...


I cannot recommend this book enough! Get it and you'll thank me. Then, if you haven't already, pick up his other Joe Hunter books. Check out the villains--they're brilliant.

Blue skies,
Les

Thanks to you both. Les, it was Alabany. I unfortunately didn't make it to Cleveland. It was where the rockabilly band was playing in the pub as memory recalls. Sally, thanks for downloading NGB, hope you enjoy it too.
