Midday- David Lyons-4*

Vincent and Ryan lead a happy life- so they think about each other. Vincent is in

charge of four banks in Dublin although originally his heart was far from going into

the financial sector. Ryan, his partner, was in PR but left after Vincent encouraged

him to do what he had always wanted to- write a book. However for the last 19

months he has sat and done nothing. Jack (JR) has lost his wife who was the

daughter of one of Dublin’s gangland bosses whom no-one messed with.

Darragh has dreams of owning a penthouse similar to the one Vincent and

Ryan live in. The easiest way of achieving this is to get Vincent to take two

million euros from each of banks once morning and arrive back by midday-

or Ryan will be shot. This is a very interesting premise and I like how it has

been tackled. Each short snappy  chapter is by one of the four main characters

and gives a backstory to each of them so that you get to know them a little.

Jack and Darragh although criminals have their own characters and life

stories which makes them that little bit more real. Vincent and Ryan very

different lives. I enjoyed this, it was a very different read. One to ponder

after reading. A very well thought out scenario, well written.

Author Bio:

Dublin-born author David B. Lyons has a new twist on the psychological thriller. His debut, Midday, will be released on March 22^nd and promises readers a thrilling ride. It’s the story of the same extraordinary morning, told from the perspective of four different characters.

David comes from a journalistic background. He worked, mainly, in the areas of football and music reporting for over 12-years, notching a few awards along the way. He tried to write creatively in his spare time, but found the formulaic writing nature of his day job a hindrance. He met with producers about both a play and a TV pilot he had written, but both fell short of being green lit, much to his disappointed. However, it gave him the opportunity to fulfil a life-log dream of finally penning a novel. He completed a BA Hons Degree in Creative Writing and soon after, completed Midday. Three months later, that debut was picked up by Bloodhound Books and early buzz suggests a promising writing career lies ahead for the thirty-nine-year-old.

He now lives in Birmingham, UK with his wife Kerry and daughter Lola. He has read fiction all of his life and notes Dean Koontz as a real inspiration. He is also a big fan of Gillian Flynn as well as rising star Liz Nugent.
