Review by: Chris Mattix. It's really rare for a writer to knock it out of the park as thoroughly and with as much sadistic fervor as Jake Hinkson does in his debut novel, Hell on Church Street.A relatively unknown voice in the world of crime fiction, Hinkson's clever prose, fiendish dialogue, and well drawn cast of characters will no doubt make him the subject of much deserved chatter in. 60 Second Book Reviews - Hell On Church Street by Jake Hinkson. 8 years ago.

Hell on Church Street. by. Jake Hinkson (Goodreads Author) avg rating — ratings — published — 11 editions. Hell on Church Street is pure pulp bliss. Hinkson does a stellar job of creating a believably over-the-top story about the pitfalls of obsession and greed, and his “protagonist,” while a sadistic killer by the tale’s end, is the kind of guy whom readers can’t help but root for. Steeped in family and southern tradition, with the sweat-stained familiarity of an old baseball cap or a beat up pulp paperback worn out from time in a hip pocket, Hinkson keeps his story contemporary but his storytelling classic. Hell on Church Street slotted right into my wheelhouse. It was dark in a Jim Thompson vibe but is more human.
