Holy crap, what a great book! I’d had trouble finding this, the first in the series, so started the second. There were too many mentions of things that happened in the first one, so I went into must-find mode. Even the publisher only had e-book versions. I ended up with a used copy—sorry J.M., no royalties on this one. While Micky Knight is a pretty typical hard-boiled private eye, what I like about this book is that the mystery does not overpower the characters. There are mysteries for the sake

Reading Death of a Dying Man made me want to reread the series because there was really a lot of stuff I didn't remember. I couldn't place some characters and couldn't recall al ot of Micky's history.

The story started out slowly and a couple of times at the very beginning I debated whether or not to put it down (I have Watchmen and The Blood Books, Vol 2 waiting for me, among other things), but I stuck with it, and it did not so much get better but get more fluid and start to fit together a bit tighter.
Will I read the next in the series right away, probably not, but the rest ...more

First book of Mickey Knight series. Detective Michelle Knight (Mickey to her friends) set in NOLA, written in the style of Sam Spade and Mike Hammer with a lesbian twist. Money, drugs, dangers and of course the beautiful woman in danger.
