Gripping yarn of mayhem

Reviewed in Australia on 28 November 2018

n Australia, an expert assassin, always disguised, begins killing, apparently at random. Police soon realise that the victims are all linked by criminal activity for which they have not been brought to account and that the killings are the work of someone who believes the criminal justice system has failed the community. Then Sergeant Dan Brennan and his mate Mac Maclean become the targets of an assassination attempt themselves as they get too close to solving the murders. It becomes clear that the assassin is an ex-soldier but when the Army blocks efforts to identify the man, Brennan and Maclean realise that a bigger game plan is afoot - rogue elements in the Army are planning the overthrow of the Australian Government, using the assassinations as a smokescreen, because they believe they can run the country better.

This book will appeal to readers who enjoy a robust thriller with plenty of murder and mayhem, along with a larger than life plot with high stakes.

The plot unfolds beautifully as the stakes are progressively raised, changing from a local crime investigation into a national emergency. Who to trust becomes a critical issue for Dan and Mac. The ambiguity facing soldiers when faced with orders from their superiors which conflict with their values as citizens is well explored.

The characters are strongly drawn and create stark contrasts, leading to some excellent conflict and competition. Motivation for extreme behaviour is explored in some depth.

The author creates convincing portraits of various Australian settings. His knowledge of military affairs and weaponry is a great asset in bringing the action to life.

Overall I found this book very readable and engrossing.

A mystery Book that Reads Like a TV Series

Reviewed in the United States on 4 June 2019

Verified Purchase

A mystery novel that plays out like a long episode of Law and Order, then turns into a government conspiracy story, like 24, while at the same time putting much focus on individual relationships and dialogue, like a soap opera. It was an interesting evolution and definitely played out in a way that reminded my of a prime time cable television series.

At the beginning of the story, one finds out that someone is killing people, people who have done horrible acts. As a fan of Dexter, I found myself routing against Detective Dan Brennan, a man who constantly sits on a high horse and his unwavering faith in the law; a man who condones murder, no matter who the victim is (i.e. including sadistic serial offenders). During almost the entire novel, I felt at odds with Dan, as he seemed to believe so strongly in his system of law, even though he knew that there was something wrong with it. He seems to preach and have so much faith in the system, not because it is moral or ethical, but simply because it is the law. And for Dan, law is law. This aspect of his character never changes, except for one scene, where his family is involved. Then, and only then, is he okay with murder/breaking the law and covering things up.

Nevertheless this disagreement, the novel has some interesting twists and turns, some of which were surprising. I enjoyed its story’s transformation from a Law and Order to a 24 style, including one technique the author uses to separate scenes. Like a television episode of Law and order, the novel consists of many part, 85 chapters, and each chapter often has bits of different scenes, often giving both perspectives of parties involved. When this happened at the beginning, I could almost hear that classic sound from the television show, letting the viewer know they are being taken to a new location.

This is a novel for those who enjoy the stated aspects and for those who enjoy government and military conspiracies. I’d give it 3.5 stars.

Delivers a Knockout Punch!

‘The Hoodyman did not enjoy murder, but it was necessary.
I loved how the author, Reece Pocock described this.
A killer is on the loose in South Australia and a task force is headed up by Detective Sergeant Dan Brennan. Unbeknownst to the task force in the beginning of their investigation, they discover all the victims were criminals themselves; murderers, rapists, drug runners and crooked cops, all previously set free by the authorities.
A vigilante has decided to do what the police and the judiciary apparently can’t. And soon the newspapers report ‘Hoodyman’ killings in other states. No criminal is safe.
What a great read filled with plot twists, shady characters, and the Hoodyman.
