A Special Working of Gravity is a Bodie/Doyle story by Jackie Thomas.
Reactions and Reviews
A simple premise- Bodie in prison for six months, Doyle there to pick him up when he gets out - but what a marevllous tale.....I knew I would love this as soon as I heard the premise and read that opening quote. Bodie in prison because of a foul up on the job, is full of delicious possibilities. We start the day he gets out and all you need really is one quote from that very moment to make you click on it as fast as possible if you haven't yet read it.... How it all resolves is kept right to the very end, and will have you holding your breath a little. But we started with a hug, so we’ll end on one. A hug that could be canon from any episode involving a bruised and end-of-his-tether Doyle.. It’s my favourite moment, the image and exchange that stayed with me long after I’d finished reading.[2]– callistosh65 at ci5hq
I really like this writer and this particular story, in fact I'd love it if she wrote more Pros.[2]– shooting2kill at ci5hq
Like the spare, clean writing. The understated but intense emotions. The dialog is terrific. Jackie Thomas is an auto-read for me.[2]– jgraeme2007 at ci5hq
Oh, this is such a good story. I didn't think I'd like the very idea that Bodie was in prison, but for this story and this writer, I was willing to try. I'm so glad I did. It's definitely a great read.[2]
It *is* a great read. And I love that her starting point is the day Bodie leaves prison. So what sets it off are the repercussions for the pair of them. A brilliant idea.[2]– callistosh65 at ci5hq
It's that great kind of storytelling where the things left unsaid, the "spaces" between the lines tell you as much as the words do... like really good jazz. It's there in what isn't being said between Bodie and Doyle -- illustrated beautifully in that substitution of notes -- and is echoed through out the whole story in conversations with Murphy, Cowley and even with Armstrong.[2]– draycevixen at ci5hq
