I'm not going to lie - I'm a little leery of this one. The Pronzini/Malzberg collection called Problems Solved didn't completely charm me; plus, the reputation of this novel is weird. But, I don't mind experimental approaches to Crime novels - like Here Comes a Candle by Fredric Brown. If I can't get emotionally invested at all, because of the style and structure, then I'll be in trouble...

I’ll finish it tonight - and, not sure, maybe one more book before returning to Amber.

It’s weird, because….there’s no humour, there’s no meta quality to it…and yet I feel like this is some kind of bizarre 1970s version of Scream, or Scream 2. Like Scream, with no cute - just creepy.

Unless they mess it up, this has turned out to be my kind of read.

An interesting start. I'm reminded of another Pronzini collaboration - one with John Lutz - called The Eye. I loved that book, and this one seems somewhat similar in structure and feel, so maybe this will be a winner for me, no matter how odd it gets.
