Ordinary Thunderstorms reviewed in The Independent
9:45am 15/12/2009
"This season delivers a bumper crop of excellent thrillers. In William Boyd's Ordinary Thunderstorms, Adam Kindred, wanted for a gruesome murder of which he is innocent, goes to ground in London. He lives rough, creating a new identity for himself and gradually unravels a huge pharmaceutical fraud. Boyd visits and forensically examines virtually every level of contemporary society, from prostitutes and hellfire evangelists to scientists, corrupt City types and an ex-soldier turned hired gun. Compellingly read by Martyn Ellis, it is a serious, thoughtful and provocative novel. And it speeds along faster than a cheetah." - Sue Gaisford, The Independent
