Stark’s storytelling comes into its own through crime stories reminiscent of Noir Crime and Pulp Fiction novels of the great British Detective authors. The compelling narrative and interplay between the characters gives them another dimension, which draws the reader into the twists and turns of the plot, eager to turn the next page.
