When some tosser almost runs over Pearce and his dog, Pearce lets his temper get the better of him and he soon finds himself looking for a way out of trouble. Only it's out of the frying pan and into the fire when his salvation turns out to be an ex-girlfriend who needs $20,000 by midnight...
This novella by Allan Guthrie runs at 88 miles per hour from beginning to end. Pearce finds himself deep in the soup with gangsters wanting their money and only his three-legged dog and two children on his side.
It's a pretty absurd crime tale. Where else would you read about a Scottish hoodlum reading a bedtime story to two children when he's got a loan shark to gun down in several preciously short hours?
The Kill Clock is a fun, fast read. Since it's currently free on the Kindle, you could do a lot worse.

1 star: I did not like this book, either terrible storyline, morally unacceptable or because I just did not enjoy reading the book at all.
Very quick read, easy to read but parts of it are quite uninteresting. It's not a great book and isn't my type of book, not only because I didn't enjoy the writing style but also because there was very little to the story, nothing that stood out or even there to really drive you to finish it. I find the characters lack a certain amount of development, they weren't realistic which, in my eyes, really is important in a story. I picked this book off a shelf because I thought: that's an interesting title but unfortunately that is all I can say about this book that is good. I do realize that I am not in the intended audience(age group) but it is nice to read something short that one can finish within a day and I was hoping for something a bit more entertaining.

Quick, easy read. Easy, that is, if you don't mind reading a load of profanities.
