Sammy's Review: On Wings of Affection by George Snyder
The murder mystery is compelling and spattered with wonderful bits and pieces of a fabulous California subculture combined with snippets of Sam's Midwestern background. Sam, Pam, and Didier are fabulous characters with definite staying power.
The story is filled with fabulous twists, turns, and edgy glimpses of a wildly seductive lifestyle. George intertwines these emotions into the perfect recipe for murder. A community filled with love, jealously, and lust sets a scene that often left me gasping.
The author's style is awesome. George Snyder approaches On Wings of Affection with a fabulously developed first person account from Sam, a self-described 'Jean Brodey' before moving to California. The story possesses a certain dry humor through Sam's narration. The author's ease is delightful, reminiscent of couple of historically beloved authors.
The subtle humor of 'fashioning a flamingo out of a napkin' is just a small example of the interesting dry humor George injects into the story. His comparisons and detail continue throughout the novel adding a unique perspective.
I highly recommend On Wings of Affection; it will not disappoint those with a flair for a Murder Mystery!

“One often feels exalted, expanded, in his presence. He is not one of those egotists who miniaturize others. He is the opposite kind of egotist, driven by grandiosity rather than greed, and if he insists on a version of you that is funnier, stranger, more eccentric and profound than you suspect yourself to be--capable of doing more good and more harm in the world than you've ever imagined--it is all but impossible not to believe, at least in his presence and for a while after you've left him that he alone sees through to your essence, weighs your true qualities (not all of which are necessarily flattering--a certain clumsy, childish rudeness is part of his style), and appreciates you more fully than anyone else ever has.” — Michael Cunningham
