| I am somewhat of a Raymond Chandler aficionado. I don't try to write like him because any attempt would just be a cheap parody. Few writers had Chandler's facility with language, and none have elevated the simile to high art in the same way. Despite ...more | |

| Another entertaining read that had a satisfying conclusion. Not the best of the series so far, but even Macdonald's less-than-best is still awfully good. ...more | |

| A good book that earns the title of classic noir that it carries. A very novel idea carried out splendidly. Levin is terrific at slowly building the tension. You know (or think you do) what's going to happen, but Levin makes you wait for it. A great ...more | |

| A good book and Pelecanos does a great job of keeping all the characters straight and giving them distinct personalities. I was hoping for a more definitive ending but that's not always right for a book. I'll definitely be reading more. ...more | |
