aylas_journey 's review for:
Black Wings Has My Angel
by Elliott Chaze
Before this book, I had never read noir before. I do not know where this stands with others of its genre, but I'm willing to bet it's at the top of the list! I love that I know the fate of the characters near the beginning, and I love that the language was so rich and delightful that I looked forward to the journey to find out the details.
Some of the rich (non-spoiler) prose you'll find in this book:
"You hear and read about legs. But when you see the really good ones, you know the things you read and heard were a lot of trash."
"Having her at the wheel gave me a good feeling. She kept the left front fender pasted to the center stripe of the road, grooving it as if it were a rail."
"He wore a shirt with genuine French cuffs and he was so proud of them he kept shooting them out of his jacket sleeves and glancing at them as if they were a perpetual and pleasant surprise to him."
You're not going to regret the pleasure of reading this book!
