Critical Acclaim for Richard Cahill's Truth or Bare
Richard Cahill demonstrates that sought-after and often elusive literary quality--Voice. And in his sizzling thriller, Truth or Bare, the voice is smooth, darkly funny, seductive, and cynical. Well-drawn characters and crisp dialogue cry out to be filmed--with an R rating, of course. R Poole-Carter, Author, "Women of Magdalene"
Truth or Bare is that rare find in the bookstore aisle labelled "Crime" or "Thrillers." It's not a good "crime" novel or a good "thriller" but simply a good--make that excellent--novel, by any standard. Think of Dashiell Hammett, Patricia Highsmith, Michael Innes, Frederick Forsyth--think of writers, in short, who know how to tell a fast-paced, twists-and-turns, sexy-funny, mordantly observant story populated by absolutely believable, fascinating characters, and wrapped in language you can savour again and again. Richard Cahill has you from the first beautiful sentence and sleaze-dripping character. If you like novels with dialogue that sizzles, a story that's diabolical and prose that sings, this is the one.
