Fortune Favors the Dead by Stephen Spotswood

5.0

This one just jumped unexpectedly off the library shelves into my hands due to the title and cover art and insisted I bring it home for the holidays based on the dustjacket copy. Ended up keeping me awake all night in a dusky, smoky, film noir haze, and I've already pushed it on to at least one friend and possibly to the book club. The narrative voice just crackles along and the central conceit is a joy. Hop on board to watch the Distaff Nero Wolf & Artie Shaw vs. Professor Moriarity begin.

MORE PLEASE!
