I've never read a book quite like this before, as an avid viewer of Luther all the characters in this book are firmly cemented in my head, I know what they look and sound like, it's a bit like reading a book after you've seen the film I suppose but it took nothing away from the story for me at all, I found Cross's sparse character descriptions almost refreshing. I think it's brilliant that Neil Cross having created this character has decided to keep him alive in book form (it certainly seems the TV series is over).
"Anything to do with Idris Elba I love so unsurprisingly a book about his best acting performance to date got me gripped. For fans of the award-winning series starring Emmy-nominee Idris Elba, and for all lovers of crime fiction, Luther is hailed by The Guardian as “Britain’s own Stephen King.” Sometimes it sends him to the brink of madness, making him do things he shouldn’t-things well beyond the limits of the law.Įdgar Award-winning writer Neil Cross has created one of the most compelling characters in modern crime fiction-a man who may be a force for good, or hell-bent on self-destruction. He seethes with a hidden fury that at times he can barely control. And yet there are rumors that Luther is bad-not corrupt, not on the take, but tormented. Nobody who ever stood at his side has a bad word to say about him. He’s obsessive, instinctive, and intense. He’s a murder detective with an extraordinary case clearance rate. Meet Detective Chief Inspector John Luther. A brilliant standalone crime novel and prequel to the acclaimed BBC series by the show’s creator and sole writer: “Luther is to crime fiction what his historical counterpart was to religion.…Gripping, taut fiction by a new master in the genre” (Guillermo del Toro).
