BookInspector (124 KP) rated Layer Cake in Books

The protagonist in this book is an unnamed individual, who is a part of a criminal world in 90ies. He is intelligent, witty and a very intriguing character, and this story is told from his perspective. I enjoyed the wide variety of diverse characters chosen for this novel, and they do seem like proper “geezers”.

Hello, my name is Davida and I'm a Rachel Joyce addict. That's why after reading "Perfect" I couldn't wait for her next novel and had to buy this short story. Once again, she doesn't disappoint! You can read my review of this here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/07/21/the-scent-of-letting-go/
