KILLING MUM BY ALLAN GUTHRIE

KILLING MUM BY ALLAN GUTHRIE
KILLING MUM is a short, sharp shocker.TRUE BRIT GRIT! 

The novella is  as tight as a nun's nasty and is a spin off from Guthrie's cracking novel SAVAGE NIGHT. It's the story of a  man who is paid to kill his own mother.

Like SAVAGE NIGHT, KILLING MUM takes a violently  absurd and tragically comic situation and gives it a couple of  dark and bitter twists. 

It's like having BLOOD SIMPLE transported to modern day Scotland and is a rush of a read. 

Five BLOODY stars.

Absolutely spot on. I'm starting to think Guthrie is genetically incapable of writing anything but balls-on brilliant stuff.
