The Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes by David Handler
3.0
This is a quick, enjoyable read--definitely of its genre. Capital "L" Literature, this is not, but if you're in the mood to read the exploits of a moderately hard-boiled (or rather, soft-boiled) detective (of the accidental, non-official detective variety--the main character is a writer who just gets caught up in these things, as one does), then this book is for you.
I've never read any of the other books in this series, and that wasn't an issue for this book (though fans of the series will probably enjoy the returning characters and occasional references to previous adventures). The first chapter was actually filled with more explication than I needed, but once past that, the characters and plot turned out to be engaging enough that I'll probably go back and read some of the earlier books.
(Thank you, William Morrow and GoodReads for the ARC.(
