Book Review: Served Cold: BOOK #1 of the REVENGE Series, by Terry Tyler


Available from Amazon UK and Amazon US

Revenge is a dish best served cold: Two novellas in which vengeance is planned long after emotions have cooled ... these are calculated, deliberate acts of retribution. Justice designed 
for catastrophic effect.

The latest book from Terry Tyler is tricky to review without 'spoilers', although the title offers more than a clue. What I can say is Served Cold is a masterclass in short story telling. Terry Tyler shows how to use a short story to craft a deeply human exploration of the complex emotions that come with revenge.

Brilliantly structured, clever, and authentic, the stories of Served Cold would make great TV dramas – or a series.

In the meantime I’m adding Terry Tyler to my list of favourite authors. Highly recommended if you like character-driven fiction - and stories where payback is anything but simple.
