Craig Sisterson has been kind enough to let me do a guest post on Crime Watch, and I talk about Marita A. Hansen‘s astonishing urban thriller, Behind The Hood:
I first encountered Marita A. Hansen when we bumped into each other on Goodreads. Goodreads, of course, is the largest networking site for readers and writers. And we immediately connected because we’re both Kiwis writing urban fiction set in New Zealand.
On impulse, I picked up her novel, Behind The Hood, even though she didn’t ask me to.
And, in hindsight, I’m glad I did.
Behind The Hood is tough, gritty and uncompromising. The kind of story that I like to call ‘faction’. Where razor-sharp realism reinforces a propulsive narrative that’s so gut-wrenchingly harrowing, it can only have come from the mind and soul of someone who’s actually been there and done that.
