Finished seven killings. A relief. A couple of the voices I really liked but he was as interested in exploring Jamaican men’s attitude to homosexuality as the growth of gangs to New York and Bob Marley’s attempted assassination, which made for a somewhat turgid read.

I think that SA book may suffer from being a follow up to a successful first one (Walking Home) where he did the Pennine Way North to South.
