Summary
Lennox liked Quiet Tommy Quaid. Perhaps it's odd for a private detective to like - even admire - a career thief, but Quiet Tommy Quaid was the sort of man everyone liked.
Amiable, easygoing, well dressed, with no vices to speak of - well, aside from his excessive drinking and womanising, but then, in 1950s Glasgow those were practically virtues. And besides, throughout his many exploits outside the law, Quiet Tommy never once used violence.
It was rumoured to be the police who gave him his nickname - because whenever they caught him, which was not often, he always went quietly. So probably even the police liked him, deep down.
Above all, the reason people liked Tommy was that he you knew exactly what you were dealing with. Here, everybody realised, was someone who was exactly, simply and totally who and what he seemed to be.
But when Tommy turns up dead, Lennox and the rest of Glasgow will find out just how wrong they were.

Lennox 5
My husband and I both loved this book. We have listened to two other books in the series and were delighted to find another. Mr Barrett's accents are excellently delivered. He reads the story very well. We especially liked the Polish greengrocer. Twinkletoes as the bird watching family man is a bit hard to swallow knowing his previous job.The topography of Glasgow was well researched and the humour of the city shines through. 1950s Glasgow comes to life through the author's words. Although Lennox gets the job done he is a thoroughly unpleasant, misogynistic, violent man and I still do not like him (husband disagreeing in background). All in all a treat for the ears.

Another unputdownable
Lennox - noir always leaves you wanting to read the next book . The humour is dark and delicious . The action, hard - nosed and nasty just the way we like it. The story in this piece is about corruption and depravity and the power of friendship to cause us to examine our own actions .
Not certain the Lennox character would have known about the goings on at Bletchley Park (mentioned by way of an aside) at the time this is set but I’m open to a correction on that point
I hope Lennox manages a few more investigations before hanging up all his illegal intentions .

Not a five but a good four and a half
I stumbled on the first three Lennox novels via 'The Book people' who were in work and the salesman recommended them to me. Three paperbacks for £4 cant go wrong.
Looking for something to spend my audible credits on I returned to Lennox. I am so glad I did. The last two books are excellent. Sean Barrett made Lennox a bit more likeable for me. Well written and a great insight into 50's Glasgow with just the right amount of wit thrown in. Would have like a bit more of the Three Kings but you cant have everything

Better than expected
I chose this because of where it is set but when I started to listen I thought I wouldn't like it because of the style and the uncomfortable accent. I persisted and found that the story was very good.

Great story so well presented
As with all the previous Lennox stories this lends itself so well to an audio presentation. The story is great and the narration is first class. I really enjoyed it.

Another great Lennox book
Really enjoyed the most recent Craig Russell book. I've now listened to all the Lennox series and gave enjoyed them all. Great narration from Sean Barrett. Really keeps the atmosphere and the pace. Would recommend all of this series which creates a great gritty feel for 1950s Glasgow.
