John Harvey Strikes Again
John Harvey is arguably one of the crime writers today. Easy Meat is another in his Charlie Resnick series. Each one, it seems, is better than the previous ones. Harvey's stories deal not only with crimes, but also current issues in society, such as racism, sexual harrassment on the job, infidelity, child pronography and others. Many authors chose to ignore these...

John Harvey Strikes Again, Mars 31 2003
John Harvey is arguably one of the crime writers today. Easy Meat is another in his Charlie Resnick series. Each one, it seems, is better than the previous ones. Harvey's stories deal not only with crimes, but also current issues in society, such as racism, sexual harrassment on the job, infidelity, child pronography and others. Many authors chose to ignore these subjects. Not so with John Harvey. In this installment, a youth is accused of murdering an older woman. Convicted of the crime, he is later sent to a youth dtention centre, where he is found hanging in a room. He was only 15 years old. Resnick has to deal with the psyche of the boy and those who drove him to his death. The book is well written, yet at the same tim difficult to read because it does not seem like fiction at all, rather it is true life. It is a pity the Harvey has not written a Resnick novel in a few years. We can only hope that changes.

amazing, Fév 5 2001
Par Un client
This was a great book and I thoroughly enjoyed it - it was fast paced and very real. This was actually the first book I read in the series and it encouraged me to read the rest of them ( although I still think this is the best one ). It's just a shame that there will be no more. It's a british book, written in a very british way about british urban life - if people think its depressing, they're simply missing the point.

Darker and Deeper, Aoû 25 1999
Somewhat more complicated than the seven previous entries in the Charlie Resnick series, this one involves a young boy hurtling down the road to a criminal life and his subsequent suicide in a youth facility as well as a series of attacks on gays in a park, and the killing of a police officer. More so than usual, Harvey has these events intertwining in the end. The CID's personal life gets heavy treatment here, as Resnick gets involved in a serious relationship, and a young black officer is added to his team.

A story with no hope....is no story at all. DEADEND, Juil 6 1999
Par Un client
Too depressingly real....and in real life for some there is no HOPE...and if there's no hope, what'd you got?...NOTHING. This is a story about a loser who begets 3 more losers. Zero morals. Zilch. Stealing, drugs, and violence are in their words "AWESOME". And nothing changes their opinion. Their total disrespect for everyone and everything is rock solid. The story was slow, near boring, the ending quick and unsatisfying. A story with no hope....is no story at all. DEADEND

A brilliant write pens an unforgettable crime novel, Oct. 6 1997
Par Un client
Nicky Snape was barely fifteen, but already has a résumé filled with misdemeanors and minor crimes. He has even stolen money from his own mother. Today is a typical day in the life of the young English hoodlum. Nicky makes the rounds and steals a purse from Hannah Campbell, later selling her credit cards. He breaks into the home of Eric and Doris Netherfield. Eric sees an intruder enter his bedroom and goes after the culprit with a piece of railing. He strikes the intruder, Nicky, on the shoulder, but eventually loses the bar. Nicky knocks Eric down, demanding money. As Eric holds his chest, Doris comes over to attend to her man. Nicky picks up the bar and splits open Doris' head. The police arrest Nicky for murder. Two days later, the teenager hangs himself in his cell. To Inspector Charles Resnick, something is not quite right about the lad's death. He begins to investigate what happened at the juvenile detention home where Nicky allegedly hung himself. Charles looks into this case, while the English city rocks from other vicious crimes. EASY MEAT is a British urban police procedural that is so gritty, it will make American readers reconsider the English cozy. Nicky, who could be any teenager, is a great character and the story line is painfully brilliant. However, it is Charles, surrounded by a growing tide of violence, who still finds love amidst this vicious sea of decadence, who makes John Harvey's novel one of the best police procedurals of the year.
