2012 Best Indie Book of the Year Top 5 Finalist in Mystery and Thriller on The Kindle Book Review

Book Description:
The John Reeves Creed: "Kill them with kindness. Unless you have a gun."

John Reeves drives to Myrtle Beach hoping to repair a damaged relationship with his fiancée. Instead, he finds her unconscious in the hospital, the victim of an unexplained explosion at a local restaurant.

Reeves meets Billy Hitchings, a teenager who knows more about the explosion than he should. Their questions lead to an ancient legacy best left alone.

Pulled into yet another crossfire, John Reeves fights to protect his friends and keep a primeval power from falling into the wrong hands.

- S.M. Boyce
Amazon Bestselling Author, The Grimoire: Lichgates

L'autore

Kirkus MacGowan wrote his first book at age eight about traveling to Mars to find the cure for cancer. He put his writing dreams on hold for twenty-five years and focused his energies on playing baseball. He moved on when he found playing softball with his friends more enjoyable than his pipe dream. Since then, he graduated with a B.S. in Psychology, married a woman too good to be true, and moved back to his hometown. He gave up an amazing career waiting tables and now stays at home with his two crazy children. He spends his time writing thrillers and fantasy, playing softball with friends, enjoying the occasional computer game, and wrestling with his kids. --Questo testo si riferisce alla paperback edizione.

Uneven tumble

This is a mixed bag. Generally it is not badly written, in places very good, but there are bad patches. The opening action, although with the right intentions, is one of the poorer bits. There is no indication that this is a YA offering but the shoot-out is rather more comic book than adult fare which would be okay if the same tone of voice applied throughout.
In fact I think the John Reeves character is not clearly enough drawn and developed, and lacks necessary depth to host a series of mysteries. All the elements are present but not combined into a satisfactory whole. Lack of development is probably the key.
The plot requires work: the plates, Cherokee element, Billy's super power usage, almost all the relationships, Jarrett's actions being too much for his motive, the poor ending etc., all require more explanation, logic or need fleshing out.
Many of the story elements seemed to lead nowhere or fizzle away. Kelly, Amfar and a couple of minor characters seem to promise more but could equally be written round or struck off. I felt the whole storyline could be fined down and what was left given more volume. I continually had the feeling this writer could do better.

Refreshingly different!

I bought this on the spur of the moment when I was looking for some new authors on my Kindle - so glad I did!

The story moves fast but is full of detail that allows you to paint a very detailed picture of the scenes and you find yourself getting involved with the characters and caring about what might happen to them. Even dealing with an obviously fictional subject at the end you find yourself wondering if something like this could happen - well, I did anyway!

I'll certainly be keen to read more of Kirkus Macgowan's work and I can only hope it is up to the standard of The Fall of Billy Hitchings - a high bar has been set.

24 meets Outer Limits by way of X-Files

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 3 maggio 2012

Bit of a weird one this, think 24 crossed with Outer Limits by way of X-files and you'll be somewhere close. What starts out as a thriller featuring an ex-Marine cum gun for hire cum bodyguard getting caught in a firefight, cheating on his girlfriend, then going to attempt forgiveness from said girlfriend so enters into a fantastic situation people with grey characters, secrets, legends and action.

Some of the dialogue is heavy going but this doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the book.

Too strange for my taste

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 25 agosto 2014

Acquisto verificato

It's good in parts. But not good enough in many. There is some good action and descriptive work and the basic plaot is interesting. But the super natural powers just don't work for me.

I like a good detecive/mystery novel and some pushing of the boudaries of technology is fine (as we have in the opening scene) but the "ending" is so false as to undermine any good that has been done in the rest of the novel. I won't be looking for the next by Kirkus MacGowan

Great Debut Novel

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 4 maggio 2012

Self publishing is big at the moment, everyone wants to have a go! Some of the books i have read have been shockingly bad. Kirkus has obviously put a lot of effort into creating the best book possible before putting it out there, and it shows.It has a great plot, interesting characters and is well written. He is not hurrying to get the next one out,obviously wanting it to be just right. He will get better and if The Fall Of Billy Hitchings is anything to go by it could be very exciting!
