| -From Goodreads- Death bonded them. Life divided them. It was him, Graham was sure of it. He might not have seen him for years, but no one forgets their oldest friend's face. But as much as he tries to get Adi Varney's attention through the window, the local football legend stares straight through him. Why had Adi ignored him, and why had Graham seen him in the company of an American businessman reputed to be involved with the Mafia? Graham begins asking around. He visits the Sports Centre Adi founded and quickly learns that the charity is on the verge of closing down. A firm of lawyers is trying to take it over and a name is mentioned - Rocco Lonza - the same business man Graham saw with Adi. Convinced that something is very wrong Graham is determined to work out what has happened to his friend and quickly discovers Adi is in well over his head. Will he be able to save his friend's life again, like he did when they were kids, or will the local star finally be snuffed out? ISBN-13: 9781782642770 Will this Local Legend survive...? If you were to ask anyone that knows me they would tell you that I couldn't possibly be less sports minded. Never have been and never will be. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying a good sports themed novel now and then. I've read the previous two 'Local' books, both of which are good, and I've come to appreciate Paul Trembling's ever improving writing style. Each book is better than the last. |  This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

Local Legend has a little bit of everything. Starting out with a wedding reception, dropping into the mystery of what happened to Adi Varney, trips through memories of a middle-aged semi-retired journalist, and winds up with a literally explosive finish complete with shocking revelations.
Despite the fact that the titular Local Legend is a soccer..eeerrr...football player, I couldn't put the book down and finished it in a day. I quickly found myself involved and invested in Graham and Sam's search for the elusive Adi. And trust me, I didn't see many of the revelations in the final showdown coming at all.
If you enjoy books with a modern British setting, that are relatively clean but not preachy, and you like a good mystery with some tense action scenes, Paul Trembling has you covered in his latest addition to the 'Local' books.
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Local Legend by Paul Trembling a 4.5 Bark rating.
