Say Goodbye When I'm Gone by Stephen J. Golds

4.0

Say Goodbye When I'm Gone is pretty much the perfect example of a crime noir novel done right. The simplistic and brutal writing leaves no room for flashy tricks, it's straight to the point, classic noir in all it's violent and bloody glory. 

This is a vivid and tragic novel, one that doesn't ever shy away from showcasing the rather depressing lives of it's cast of almost too human characters. Both of the main protagonists are well fleshed out, sympathetic people who are a joy to read about, even if their stories are filled with nothing but sorrow. 

I feel certain that this novel is well on its way to becoming a future classic that will stand beside the greats of this genre.
