The Frontman by Lawrence Parlier – Review by Karyn Taylor
The Frontman by Lawrence Parlier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Frontman is a great crime thriller by Lawrence Parlier. This is an author I had never read before so was very unsure what to expect from this book. What I got was a great thriller with a fantastic story line that kept me gripped from beginning to end.
Following the death of music legend Kerry Vance, some of his friends and family are far from convinced that he died of a heroin overdose as the media are saying and embark on a literal journey to discover how he really died and to give him the send-off that he really wanted.
There is quite a large cast of characters who play a large role in this book and I have to admit to getting confused a few times as just to who each person was. There are 2 main characters, in my opinion, both of whom are fantastic characters and are probably my favourite characters in the book and those are Avery and Calliope.
Calliope is such a strange character but she takes absolutely no crap from anyone and is one of the feistiest women I’ve ever read. I adored reading about her.
This is a crime thriller with a difference. Although you find out the truth about Kerry’s death long before the end of the book, the story is far from over and the remainder of this story is so far from what I would have expected.
I may not have read this author before, I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to read them again. A great read.
