A nice popcorn read in the Sam Spade/Phillip Marlowe and femme fatale detective style fiction. A bit flat, a bit predictable and left me looking for a bit more. An easy read if you're looking for something you can pick up and put down time and again but nothing that makes it stand out from a crowded field of noir novels. ( )Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. This is an okay book for meThe characters were entertaining, the twists and turns kept me reading and wanting to know what's next....but It felt like something is missing, I can't put my finger on it. It's hard to explain but I was expecting more from this book. If you're looking to pass some time this might be a book to read Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. Hal Schick as Dime Detective Sidney Craven, an off-beat private investigator (PI), provides the reader with an interesting yes even entertaining dialogue that left me wanting a bit more from this crime novel. There are just enough twists and turns in the story to keep the reader on their toes and yes, I enjoyed this ‘detective’ novel and rated it three stars.I received a copy of the ebook from LibraryThing for an honest review. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. Dime Detective by Hal ShickA mild noir story that takes place in the 1940s in LA. There’s a gumshoe, good guys and bad guys( mostly bad guys) and a couple of pretty women. A missing persons case investigated by private detective Craven turns into a murder case. Not so much twists and turns as there are clues doled out as the investigation continues. Snarky comments are at a minimum but very well placed. Very entertaining. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
It's the summer of 1944, and the U.S. is at war. Times are tough for Sidney Craven, who has to supplement the sporadic income from his one-man Los Angeles detective agency by writing crime stories for pulp magazines. Then, a wounded war hero--recently home from overseas--hires Craven to locate his missing wife, an actress who disappeared on the very day she was supposed to start a new film. Craven begins his investigation by visiting her Hollywood studio. Before his snooping gets him run off the lot, a costar gives Craven a tip that eventually leads him to a jazz club in South Central L.A. Unlike with his usual divorce cases, he finds himself entangled in a narrative that includes blackmail and murder. His own life in danger, Craven doggedly tracks down clues and attempts to lure the prime suspect into what could be a fateful confrontation. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
