Tommy Bennett #1
Last Year's Man
A troubled, ageing hit man leaves London and returns to his hometown in the north east of England hoping for peace. But the ghosts of his past return to haunt him. Last Year’s Man is a violent and blackly comic slice of Brit Grit noir. Praise for LAST YEAR’S “Brazill offers a series of amusing episodes filled with breezy banter in this offbeat slice of British noir.” —Publishers Weekly “It’s all here, everything you’ve come to expect from a Paul D. Brazill caper—the fast pace, the witty banter, the grim humour and the classic tunes—except this time he’s REALLY outdone himself. Unlike the lament in the song the title takes its name from, Paul’s best years are surely still ahead of him.” —Paul Heatley, author of Fatboy “Paul D. Brazill is the Crown Prince of Noir. That’s my opinion, granted, but I stand by it. For those who require proof, just pick up his latest novel, Last Year’s Man, and it will be clear why I make that statement. All hail the crown prince!” —Les Edgerton, author of The Rapist, The Bitch, Just Like That and others “Brazill is brilliant, a unique voice which stands out from the crowd.” —Keith Nixon, author of the Solomon Gray books

What happens to hitmen when they begin to age, sliding into a morass of recollections and doubts while real-life memories continue to inconveniently cross their paths? Author Paul D. Brazill examines this issue as only he can, lacing a dark humor throughout as he relates the events of one of these individuals.
The story could be subtitled “Following the Latest exploits of Tommy Bennett” because that is what we end up doing, accompanying Tommy on a job that sets in motion the events that lead him back to the town of his youth. Although the story jumps at times from scene to scene, the result is a constant mix of action and humorous conversations. Dark and moody, “Last Year’s Man” leads us to places we don’t always expect, although most of the time Mr. Brazill allows us a chuckle along the way. This is noir at its best. The only minor grumble I had was the brevity of the story. One hates to set down an enjoyable book. Five stars.

Last Year's Man is British Noir the Queen herself would be proud of. The flavor, the atmosphere, the sense of it all feels like it came from that side of the Pond. It's a fairly short novel like old pulps used to be. But, the writing is so tightly strung that Brazill manages to convey a lot more in a few words or sentences than others might in chapters. Sardonic humor certainly lightens a story about an aging hitman returning to his roots, but the magic here is in the banter, the dialogue, the phrases.

Be prepared to be entertained by Paul Brazill’s latest novel with an explosion of raw violence that has a generous soaking in the most wickedest darkest humour that you can imagine. The one liners just kept rolling from the pages as aging hitman Tommy needs just one more job so that he can retire and put his tools of the trade to rest. The lack of having his heart in his work had me keeping the neighbours awake with my laughing at some of these chapters when I read this book late at night in bed when I down loaded it.
The story is told by Tommy who is wanting out because of his age not because he has made millions. I had to admire the man really to make it to such an age, still be going at it and never been caught, ok prosecuted then. Tommy is just short of sixty and the aliments are starting to mount up from the more frequent visits to the loo to the increasing daily dose of meds that keep him ticking. The characters, old and new are just pure entertaining gems with nicknames that they acquired in the good old days.
When things go wrong for Tommy it all sort of comes at once with his rules broken and marks over stepped. If you don’t like violence in books then move along please, or swearing then just keep going but if you are like me and love real dark humour then this is for you because the black stuff just gushes through these pages like an oil strike in Texas. For me this is the best Paul Brazill novel yet!
There are some cracking scenes, some which are very descriptive while others leave a lot to the imagination, both equally vivid in my mind. My favourite characters in this novel, besides Tommy, have to be his mum and Bev, just think Thelma and Louise without the car but definitely with more attitude! The whole darn book is brilliance. Just perfection all the way, if of course you are that way inclined.

I’m a big fan of Paul Brazill’s use of prose. His books have other virtues, of course, beyond his writing style, but the fact that he’s a prose stylist deserves special mention. On almost every page of Last Year’s Man, and sometimes, it seems, in almost every paragraph, there’s a line you want to read out loud to a friend.
His books have three other standout qualities:
(1) the memorable characters who populate them – eg, Drella, one of Seatown’s bigger villains: “His face was pallid and his lips were red, as if he’d been scrubbing them with a Brillo pad….Drella had a raspy voice that only added to the sinister appearance. A Welsh accent lurked beneath the surface.”
(2) his inventive use of dialogue – “Sic transit Gloria bloody Gaynor,” said Drella.
(3) the details he picks up on to give texture to his stories – “I saw a pack of bikers riding across the beach wearing wolf masks.” “I peeled off the price tag from the tartan Ben Sherman shirt I’d bought at the Scope shop.”
Last Year’s Man has all these Brazillian (if I can call them that) touches in abundance.
The plot can be summed up in a sentence: an ageing hit-man's past catches up with him.
This is a tale which draws you in from the opening sentence - “I leaned against an oak tree and pissed into a plastic Pepsi bottle” – and keeps a tight grip on your attention right to the final one.
It’s humorous, but it’s more than just an amusing book - it manages the difficult balancing act of being funny – often hilarious – and at the same time elegiac.
My one criticism? It ended a little too quickly. I would have liked to have read a lot more about Tommy Bennett, the main character in Last Year’s Man. Maybe there will be a sequel?

Meeting aging hit man Tommy Bennett’s a bit like listening to accomplished professional athletes waffling about whether or not it’s time to finally quit the sport that’s consumed much of their life.
We catch our first glimpse of Tommy while he’s on the job—pissing in a Pepsi bottle. Despite his professional pride the gig does not fare well for Bennett. And though he’s pushing sixty years on this terra firma, as an independent solo contractor, the unfortunate Mr. Bennett spends his early-morning hours shirtless: digging a grave and dumping bodies.
As a life-long criminal, Tommy knows a lot of miscreants. And Brazill parades a steady stream of them. Amusingly, some of the zaniest don’t live in bustling London—they hail from Bennett’s birthplace Seatown—a place he fled from in his youth, but where he suddenly returns while wisely seeking refuge. But this ain’t the Wizard of Oz folks. And “there’s no place like home” don’t apply to Bennett the way this slogan applied to Dorothy. If one believes in Carl Jung’s theory of “meaningful coincidence” however, Seatown, England is well-known for its Jurassic period fossils—and a fossil’s what Tommy’s become, a mere shell of his former self.
But Brazill leads us to suspect Bennett’s always been a bit “empty.” Tommy’s only close relationship? A life-long love for alcohol. While Tommy manages to stay out of her arms for quite some time, when trouble comes a knocking Bennett doesn’t waste much time chasing down his familiar mistress.
Tommy’s also fond of food and music. Yet he seems to lack passion for almost anything else. So while the aging hit man proves he’s capable of “change” Bennett sometimes hesitates to fill his voids in healthy ways—even when opportunity beckons. Instead he’s caving under pressure as his victim’s ghosts haunt even his daytime hours.
Anyone who reads noir knows not to expect a happy ending. But the author describes this book as a “screwball noir.” Crazy criminals like Drella and Sniffy, as well as Tommy’s ex-lover Bev, keep us humming along while shaking our smirking heads—and make for fun but reflective reading if we look beyond the comical ties Brazill lays in our tracks.

Tommy Bennett is an aging hit man dealing as much with the ailments of growing old as much as he is with taking out targets. When things go awry in London, he seeks refuge in his hometown only to dsicover that as much as things change they tend to stay the same.
I enjoyed the start of this one more than the latter stages, but I think you're supposed to, in a way. There is a nostalgia to the London that Tommy resides in where he's not drank for a decade and is living as a vegetarian comfortable in his surrounding and dealings with other in the underworld. There's the clash of the modern and traditional English-ness, but Tommy seems at home in it. Fast forward to Seatown and Tommy takes up the booze and bacon again and delves into unhealthy habits and despite being of undesirable character himself feels a touch of discomfort around the Seatown denizens of dastardly deeds.
Brazill peppers the prose with fun references, although the machine gun nature of fun similies and metaphors means coming across the same analogies more than once. A minor quibble to be sure. The musical references come thick and fast with even some opinion thrown in for good measure. My undoubted favourite reference was when the young waiter was reading a copy of Shoot and I wonder if Brazill had to explain that one to the editor or not.
In for a penny, in for a pound with the sequel sitting on the TBR where I'll find out how Tommy fares internationally.

I was chuffed to receive a pre-publication ARC of the latest from Mr B. Always a pleasure to read one of my favourite contemporary authors. Rest assured this is exactly the kind of mordantly witty caper you expect. From blood-soaked shenanigans to effortlessly clever banter, there’s everything you’d expect and more. The motif of the hitman haunted by his past gets a fresh angle as disgraced Tommy Bennett returns to Seatown, the northern coastal city where his past awaits him. A wild mix of musical and pop culture references come at you thick and fast. I was chortling by the end of the first page.
But under the laughter there are a few dark threads (as with all great comedy). There’s a serious undercurrent dealing with age and regrets, of finding hope — but don’t let that put you off, crime fans. There’s plenty of mayhem gone wrong, drugs and drink, plus a pale gangster named Drella (who manages to be both ruthless and hen-pecked) and a wealth of murderous mistakes. The Hancock-esque hitman Bennett (he even wears a Homburg!) seems ready to shuffle off this mortal coil just give up the life of crime, but there’s a cockroach persistence to Brazill’s characters, who have the curiosity worthy of a cat to know what will happen next.
Some great lines:
I watched dark clouds spread across the sky like a cancer.
I placed a bottle of London Pride on the grave. My wife hated flowers because of her hay fever.
‘Then the world is your oyster.’ ‘Yeah, but I’m a vegetarian,’ I said.
‘We all have our own double-cross to bear.’
I woke up when someone stabbed me.
The carriage shook like a junkie in rehab and dragged me painfully awake.
The church clock struck thirteen as I crossed the road.
Patsy, the pasty-faced barmaid…
‘Sartre got it wrong, I tell you,’ he said. ‘Hell is IKEA.’
My advice to you is pre-order this and get your London Pride in now for some summer reading. I think I might just read it again. Now where’s that audio book version?

I first came across Paul D. Brazill’s writing when I read one of his stories in the ‘The Mammoth Book of Best British Mysteries – V10’. I was instantly struck by the narrative flow. Here was a writer with his tongue pressed firmly in his cheek. Whose sharp one-liners could fill any half-decent comedian’s set.
In his novella ‘Last Year’s Man’ the main protagonist, Tommy Bennett tells us: “Getting old may have its faults, but it beats the alternative.” However, one thing that doesn’t get old is Brazill’s excellent grasp of narrative. In fact, it gets better with age, seamlessly and enjoyably guiding us through the exploits of ageing, hitman Tommy Bennett’s return to his northern homeland after a job down south goes seriously wrong.
Those of a certain age will enjoy the music and band references and observations. And those of any age will enjoy a cracking story coupled with a smooth, comic narrative. The novella’s tone reminded me slightly of Malcolm Pryce’s ‘Aberystwyth Noir’ novels, although Brazill’s style, for my tastes, is better, coupled by his own unique take.
Think of Thomas Hardy’s ‘Return of the Native’ meets the Carry On Team, with the comic timing of ‘GumShoe’ and the darkness of ‘Get Carter’ thrown in.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Highly Recommended.

Last Year’s Man follows Tommy Bennett as he finds himself in increasingly hot water and has to leave the city until things cool down. The drama follows him. Maybe it’s a case of not being able to teach an old dog new tricks, or maybe it’s just the fact that a shark has to keep swimming to survive, but Bennett has a knack for getting mixed up in situation after situation. He’s likeable, in spite of his criminal activities, and makes you want to root for him and see him come through everything. There were some nice surprises in this book. Brazill is a master at weaving in the subtle details that provide a big pay off in the end. I just read a procedural that had me certain of who the killer was before the 10% mark. I didn’t see some of the pertinent details related to the outcome of Brazill’s story coming. I love an author who can engage me and surprise me and give me a complicated protagonist to root for. If you do too, you’ll find Last Year’s Man to be a highly engaging read.

Enjoyed the noir aspect of “Last Year’s Man” about an aging hitman, who screws up and heads back to his hometown to…well, I wasn’t really sure why. You’d think going right back to the hometown and into the arms of the criminal element there might not be the wisest move, yet that is where author Brazill takes the reader. The writing is crisp and the sardonic wit rides through the story as does the constant references to music and musical groups from the hitman’s past: good, bad, and not worthy.
Two downsides to the tale are (1) the lack of any real depth or breadth behind the characters and (2) at 57% of the way through the Kindle version, the story ends. Not a ding on Brazill and his writing, but certainly a bit of a rip for the reader. 43% of what I paid for was an advertisement for the publisher and an up and coming novel, which I didn’t bother to read. Altogether, it comes down to a solid four.

If you enjoy a zany noir involving crazy criminals then LAST YEAR'S MAN provides a jolly good train wreck where crime and consequence collide. Far from a serious police procedural, Brazill chronicles the present demise of aging long-time hitman Tommy Bennett -- who flees his life in London for the reclusive wilds of his coastal birthplace Seatown -- which seems to host more criminals per capita than the capital city does!

Ageing hit man Tommy Bennett messes up a final last favour assignment then finds himself in deep trouble with the London law. He quickly scarpers away to his home town of Seatown in the grim rain soaked north east of England. However once there he still finds himself haunted by the ghosts of his past misdemeanours. Littered with Mr Brazill’s typical rapier sharp one liners this short Brit Grit novel is a joy to read for any crime fan wanting some light literary refreshment. Enjoy.

The first time I read for Paul d Brazil . He is a brilliant author of Noir and a unique voice . I like his style. I enjoyed last year's man .a story of a troubled old man leaves London to his hometown looking for peace .he cannot escape his past . It Haunt him
August 11, 2018
Engaging, but (for me at any rate) more at the secondary level, with the amusing musical references and things of that nature. Not my favorite of Brazill's works.

You Shouldn't Go Home Again
When events are heating up in London, Tommy Bennett plans to hideout in his birthplace of Seatown until everything cools off. Glorious mayhem occurs.

liked it, especially dialogue and inner dialogue..too damn short, I wish Brazill gave me a bit more context on Brit life and surroundings.

Really good crime noir

Brazil keeps the pace moving providing plenty of action, dark humor and sharp dialog in this stark tale of an aging hitman forced to go back to his hometown after he runs into trouble. Of course, his old stomping grounds are not exactly trouble free. Perfect quick read for an afternoon.

A nice bit of British crime noir.

This is a short novel about a "retired" London hit man who finds more trouble when he returns to his hometown. I found it a bit hard to relate to.
