The King of Sunday by J. B. McCauley Review

The King of Sunday Morning is a geezer. Not in the traditional sense of the word as in old man. This geezer is a face, a wannabe, a top notch bloke. He is the greatest DJ that never was. He should have been. Could have been. Would have been. Now becoming a has-been.

Tray McCarthy was born into privilege but with the genetic coding of London’s violent East End. Having broken the underworld’s sacred honour code, it is only his family’s gangland connections that save him. But in return for his life, he must deny that which he has ever known or ever will be and runs to Australia where he is forced to live an inconsequential life.

But trouble never strays far from Tray McCarthy and eventually his past and present collide to put everyone he has ever loved in danger. He must now make a stand and fight against those that are set to destroy him and play their game according to his rules.

Set against the subterfuge and violence of the international drugs trade, The King of Sunday Morning is the tale of what can go wrong when you make bad decisions. Tray McCarthy has made some of the worst. He must now save those he holds dear but in the process gets trapped deeper and deeper into a world where he doesn’t belong.

My Review:

This was a great gangster book. It had everything I thought a book in it's genre should. However the beginning was a little to slow paced for me. The clubs and music made up for that though. I could definitely see this being a movie. My favorite part was when Tray was on the run. It was also interesting to read about Australia from the eyes of someone born rich. I recommend this book for adults and people that like the Godfather movies. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review from Orangeberry Book Tours, however all opinions are my own.
