On a second series of The Gold, Forsyth said there was “more story to tell” in the Brink’s-Mat robbery but would have to wait and see if a renewal from the BBC was on the cards.It is to Tartt's credit that the book contained so much detail (and none of it boring or pedantic) about furniture, art, and literature (driving me crazy I cannot place the turning point scene in La Recherche between Swann and Odette that she refers to) which added a lot more depth and interest to the book. Personally, I think the length was fine - she had a lot of story to tell and did an excellent job telling. Nieuwe Donna Tartt een hype.

The Gold by Neil Forsyth | Goodreads

Noye, now 75, reportedly lives alone in a flat in Sevenoaks and mostly spends time with his 48-year-old girlfriend. Earlier this year, Noye called for an inquiry into police corruption. He said he would give evidence and called for old school criminals to be granted immunity – so they could speak freely about previous crimes, which would help authorities understand how corruption works. There are a few other nits a good editor could have fixed, e.g. the internet makes cameo appearances but it's inconsistent - characters will make use of it in the way people do in 2013 but then later in the same scene they seem to forget it exists (and there's much more of the latter than the former-- Tartt recently did an interview with the New York Times where she admits to only using the web "to look up phone numbers" and her unfamiliarity is pretty evident, which is a problem in a novel whose main protagonists are 20somethings), a number of key plot points are telegraphed way in advance in a manner that feels more heavy-handed than than skillful, there are minor-but-critical unexplained plot points (e.g. why Theo's mother never considered leaving his father) whose omission seems curious in a novel that goes into such minute detail about everything else. And then of course there are the adult Theo's relationships with women, all of which seem overly chaste and prim and bloodless (especially compared to his relationship with Boris)-- even when he professes otherwise.

One of many the joys of this novel are the visually striking and timeless descriptions of New York City. When the storyline shifts locations to the barren wasteland of suburban Las Vegas, it's a striking contrast. The visuals, characters, and stories are conveyed with such detail that they've became real people to me. Emun Elliott, Hugh Bonneville and Charlotte Spencer in The Gold.
