    Isle of Joy
  

*by E***W on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 February 2016*

Isle of Joy by Don Winslow Walter Withers has given the best years of his life to the CIA, setting honey-traps abroad and reeling in the victims of his plots. Now he has returned to Manhatten, and is working as a private investigator. Withers is assigned to bodyguard Senator Keneally’s girlfriend – a simple enough job. But next morning she’s dead – and Withers is the prime suspect. Set in the late fifties, this novel has a distinct flavour of the Kennedy family’s history, including young presidential hopeful Joe Keneally. To clear his name Withers must take on his old masters from the CIA, as well as J Edgar Hoover’s FBI. Withers runs the risk of falling into a rapidly closing trap, but with the surprising help of a Mafia member and some unofficial help from a some young toughs who work in his building, he plans to slip through the noose lying in wait. There are interesting sidelines in this novel, including the background of his girlfriend, a night-club singer called Anne, and a poet/writer, who stands in for a certain ‘beat’ writer by the name of Jack Kerouac. I did wonder why we had to have replace the Kennedy’s with the  Kenneally’s. But the story is familiar, down to the beautiful blonde actress who comes to a nasty end. This isn’t my favourite Winslow novel, but it’s a good story and the New York flavour adds a lot of realistic action. For an even better read in the same vein, see his extraordinary and brutal novel: The Power of the Dog. It is a breathtaking book, but it’s not for those disturbed by extreme violence.

    Deep rich characters in a fascinating historical fiction time
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2019*

Brilliant. I’ve read all his books & he just gets better & better.It gives a deep sense of the scheming politics of America post World War 2 with an always welcome flawed main character

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    very good but a bit slow
  

*by I***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 October 2012*

I enjoyed this earlier work but thought it was a bit slow getting to the nub of the matter. Notwithstanding this the author holds your attention throughout so you are never tempted to skim and are rewarded for your patience with a well told credible story.Don Winslow's writing is terrific but if you are new to him I'd maybe start with The Power of the Dog or California Fire and Life, both excellent.
