Meet second rate crime writer Jed Higgins...no, not Jack...Jed. Yes it does cause confusion, but Jed's just beginning to earn a little success when the events of a night thirty years ago threaten to come back and destroy him. Things go from bad to worse, as he finds himself in the power of a shadowy government organisation. Innocent people are marked for death, and Jed has to make horrendous decisions as to who lives and who dies. Things turn nasty. Very nasty indeed.
'Joe Soap' is Jed's fictional detective, but it's also slang for a sucker, and that's what Jed is being played for. Exactly how far can an ordinary bloke be pushed, and how much guilt can one man cope with?

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Born in the swamps of Glamorgan, I have wandered the world, generally with a guitar in hand. Here I am in a beautiful village in central Spain, where the sun shines, the lake is warm, the drink is cheap and the people and animals are friendly. I share my place with two gorgeous local cats, more guitars than I can count and a fridge full of wine. Oh, and I write stories. Many of them about Otis King, Memphis' Number One Welsh Blues detective. Others about Angels, murderers, failed Super-Villains and ingrowing toenails. Try one or two with a glass of something cold, or a cup of something hot. Hope they can make you sm

5,0 su 5 stelle Joe Soap--Definitely Can't Put This One Down
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 23 gennaio 2014
Acquisto verificato
This book already has so many five-star reviews, it doesn't need another one from me. But I'm going to add mine in here just the same. I was so impressed with this right from the start. Once I got into it, it felt like I was on one of those amusement park rides you never want to get off of.

It's the 'telling' of the story that draws you in and hangs on to you throughout. The narrative voice is fresh, sarcastic, genuine, clever, humorous... Take my word for it. The more you read, the more you will want to read.

I don't want to spoil it by giving away too much, but suffice to say, a writer gets forced into a bizarre and deadly situation, and must perform services for persons unknown. His instinct for survival and gritty street sense are valuable tools as he tries to continue to complete his assigned 'tasks'. Little by little, life unravels and the twists and turns gain momentum like a snowball rolling down a hill. You think you know where the story's going, then WHAM! Then you believe you really know where the story's going, and DOUBLE WHAM! And so it goes right up to the last word.

Joe Soap is exciting, it's dark, it's wild, it's what you need. Get your hands on it. I'm so glad I did.

5,0 su 5 stelle Intriguing Premise, Beautifully Handled
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 19 gennaio 2014

Intriguing premise. Made me think. What would you do if you faced the same deadly dilemma as that forced upon mid-ranking crime author Jed Higgins, the protagonist? If the lives of you and your family were threatened, would you kill strangers to order?

Joe Higgins did; after meeting the sinister Carrie and Darcy, he felt he had no choice if his family were to remain safe.

Jed proved remarkably efficient at these seemingly random assassinations and suffered no ill-effects. And he was £10,000 better off after each killing. He felt surprisingly calm about the fact he was a hired assassin. Worryingly so. He was even starting to enjoy his secret life. And his wife was pleased with the increased income, the holidays, the new, red Porsche for her birthday.

Three assassinations later and things became harder. Because the next person Carrie and Darcy wanted Jed to murder could in no way be a threat to anyone. He'd been warned before he set out on his assassin's path that he might be required to kill family members of unwilling 'involuntary' assassins (pour encourager les autres, as the French say). Now he understood what they had meant. But Jed, after some angsty reflections, just offed the perfectly innocent victim with a shot to the head, and barely a qualm. What choice did he have? With his family threatened -- one member had already died -- he felt it was these strangers or him and his family. No contest, was Jed's conclusion.

But it seemed Jed's secret life as an assassin had supercharged his other life -- his real life -- the crime writing one (Hmm. Interesting idea on how we crime writers could increase our sales!). His publishers were excited about the murderous anti-hero who had appeared in Jed's Joe Soap crime novels. They thought his latest could be a best seller and wanted Jed to write Joe Soap out of this particular storyline altogether. The new Daryl Swaine series did amazingly well. And why wouldn't it? Hadn't Jed Higgins walked the walk of a serial killer himself?

But then Jed found out who was really behind his life as a forced assassin. In spite of the murders' clear role in enhancing his writing skills and making him a mint of money in his real life, he wanted revenge. So, calmly and efficiently, he despatched those who had made him a killer. Then he returned to his old life. With a few important changes...
Five stars.

4,0 su 5 stelle Pleasingly Seductive

Just finished reading Joe Soap, by Andrew Peters and I have to say, it was quite interesting. It wasn't actually about anyone named Joe Soap, but you'll have to read the book to figure out why, or why not, as the case may be. Still, the actual plot and execution of this crime fiction thriller was quite interesting to follow and try to figure out. Some I did and some I didn't, but overall the storyline kept me reading until I finished. The author could use a good editor for proofing, but the story was well worth the read.

4,0 su 5 stelle Entertaining and an interesting premise
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 26 gennaio 2014

I won't precis the plot here as there are many other reviews, as well as the blurb, to guide you in that regard. Rather, I'll stick to what I thought of it.

This is an entertaining piece of fiction. It's a bit quirky, the first-person narrator might not be everyone's cup of tea and he does slightly overplay the nod-and-a-wink author stuff about editing etc. However, the main premise is interesting and a little bit different to your standard crime thriller. It's well paced and well written, the dialogue is realistic and the ending is really pretty good.

A very enjoyable read. Well worth a go if you enjoy thrillers that are slightly off the beaten track, that don't concentrate on police interviews, or spend loads of time telling you what the main character is eating or what clothes they have on.

5,0 su 5 stelle Andrew Peters outdid himself with Joe Soap!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 5 marzo 2013
Acquisto verificato
I believe I've read all Mr. Peters books and thought I knew what I was going to read...boy was I wrong. Mr. Peters orchestrated a novel that had twists, turns and backflips the entire length. I'm not sure how he managed, but he had me actually cheering for the main character - no matter how wrong, bad or misguided. Throughout the book, the author asks you to put yourself in his character's place and I'm not so sure how I would have acted myself. This novel is full of what you come to expect from any Andrew Peters book - shady quirky characters, a few murders, dry droll humor, a few shapely women and unmentioned meals. BUT this is not your average Peters book by any means. I won't spoil the novel by giving away any plot lines - but you will not be able to know the ending - until the ending! I LOVED IT. Mr. Peters took me down some dark paths, yet I was unable to stop reading and never stopped waiting to see what happened next. To me, that's the sign of real talent - shock and surprise the reader without having them shut the book, entertain even through murder and mayhem, and take them places not normally travelled. As always, I can't wait to see what's next from the mind of Andrew Peters! My kindle will always have space for one more Peters novel.
