I loved every second of this book. I read it for my mystery book club and am planning on reading his second one.

firecat's review against another edition

4.0

Solid debut novel, capably narrated by Joe Barrett. Chercover captures the noir genre and updates it for the 21st century by leaving behind the distracting sexism, racism, and homophobia of some of the original noir writers. Don't worry, you still get a full dose of weapons, skulduggery, stakeouts, conspiracies, violence, and torture. Most of the characters are well drawn and have realistic relationships with each other. Chercover's P.I. is based in Chicago and occasionally recommends his favorite local restaurants and bars (tourists take note :-)

I'll be reading more of this author.
