Book Reviews
"Perhaps most interestingly for a first novel, the characters aren't the usual stereotypical clichés - the protagonist has neither a smart-alec response to everything, nor is he a thinly veiled Bond pastiche. He's not even always likeable - and that in itself is a rare, and difficult thing to pull off. And it's not just the main characters who're entertaining - Mark the monk shines as a character I'd have enjoyed more interaction with in the story - although I grant that asking for much interaction with a silent monk is asking quite a bit." Dave Cridland
"A fast-paced intelligent story that draws the reader into the mysterious world of business in China and introduces a likeable, cynical and witty "hero': journalist Harry Patterson. As The Crow Dies makes Stuart Carruthers an author to watch!" Meley
"The novel takes you on a fast-paced journey through Hong Kong and China in the footsteps of a journalist that is about to bite over more than he can chew. I thought it was an enjoyable read, although I think the conspiracy theory that the novel touches on could be made into a bigger story than it is in this novel." John Lysfjord
