I'll take a look. He's a favorite of mine. This is not a Lew Archer story. The "detective" is a happily married attorney. I prefer my hard-boiled detectives to be broke and single! By the way, I really enjoyed this one. Quote
Brad Posted August 17 Report Posted August 17 This one has been slow going but determined to stick it out! Quote
ejp626 Posted August 18 Report Posted August 18 I'm almost done with James Baldwin's Go Tell It on the Mountain, his first novel. I should finish it tonight. After this, I'll alternate Cela's The Hive (NYRB), in a relatively new translation, and Ashby's Glass Houses, which is some sort of suspense-SF novel involving AI and a remote island. It sounds like it might have ripped off some plot points from Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. If I'm enjoying it, I'll stick it out, but I'm getting more quick to drop books these days, so we shall see. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted August 18 Report Posted August 18 Purchased this a couple of years ago and never really "dug in". Time to correct that. Quote

GA Russell Posted August 31 Report Posted August 31 Anybody remember Boysie Oakes? I enjoyed The Liquidator and the next two, but then the series went downhill pretty quickly. Quote
