Max Luther writes a lean and mean revenge thriller with panache and powerfully gritty energy, the likes of which I haven’t come across in quite some time.
Worth Killing For sees Alex Dryace back in London after his escapades in America. Returning to the trauma of his wife being murdered on the job, Alex finally sees a break in the case, a lead on who was behind the gruesome crime that stole his joy. When a man like Alex realizes some things are worth killing for, no force on Earth can get in the way of his righteous mission.
Packed with heart-thumping, bones-crunching action, Worth Killing For is every bit the enthralling ride that makes for a memorable reading experience. Luther knows his craft of describing and executing authentic close quarter combat sequences whether with firearms or fisticuffs. Before you know it, you’re shooting across the pages with Alex as he gets into intense skirmishes with London’s underworld and shadowy elements that will stop at nothing to achieve their nefarious goals. Luckily, Alex has the same mindset about exacting some well-needed justice.
Even though the action is a major highlight of the story, it’s the emotional core of the narrative that gels most with you. Alex’s troubled soul is rife with stormy emotions that won’t let him rest until he finds the truth about his wife’s killers. There’s a chilling moment where Alex asks his in-laws for permission to do what needs to be done. The crisp and dangerous dialogue seeps deep into your bones and motivates you as much as Alex to get his hands on the bad guys.
One of the most entertaining thrillers I’ve read that never lost my focus and interest, Worth Killing For is an extraordinary treat for thriller fans. Unapologetically British, suave, and stylish, this crime thriller gets you hooked in like a high that you just can’t get anywhere else.
