The BookViral Review:
High stake heists have become a relatively common theme for thrillers, but few are as memorable as Pink Panthers. A riveting read with Saikovski masterfully fusing fact with fiction to bring an edgy sense of authenticity to his tale.
With a rich, dark, plot of entanglements that fulfils all the requirements of the genre, it’s clever, fast-paced and inventive, the action evolving in tightly focused scenes, played out across a gamut of International locations.
Underpinned by converging plot threads Saikovski‘s attention to detail is superb whilst well-observed characterization creates an overall sense of authenticity.
There are numerous well-drawn characters but in the main Saikovski’s narrative revolves around Victor, Jolly and Jacqueline with Saikovski comfortably conveying scenes that can be readily internalized by his readers.
On this level Pink Panthers is a heist novel in the classic tradition – it details every aspect of their high profile operations, from their genesis to their aftermath with Saikovski’s underpinning research proving top notch. Whilst the fact that Saikovski’s plot is based on real-life events makes the prevailing sense of intrigue and danger swirling around the edges even more fascinating.
An enjoyable novel that combines wit and intelligence Pink Panthers proves a gem of a read and one that should have a special appeal to fans of high-end thrillers and heist novels. It is strongly recommended.
Quick to relax into a stream of clever repartee and amusing situations, it’s so easy to get swept up in The Moonballer’s pace and pleasures, that it would be almost churlish to resist its charms and infectious comic gusto as Sotto brings his “wanna-be-downtown suburb of Torpedo Valley” and queer tennis organization to life.
Charismatic, measured and authentic in its depiction of the pains, confusions and insecurities of the teenage experience, Stark Hunter’s characters (names changed to protect their identities) simply come to life as he powerfully crafts visual images from a decade of change.
With the continued growing popularity of the short story, many good collections are released each year and yet sadly the majority go unnoticed by mainstream readers.
