Velvet Was the Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

3.0

I have never read a noir mystery before, but I will pick up anything Silvia Moreno-Garcia ever writes. This book was very good, but I think the genre may not be for me. I spent the book metaphorically craning my neck, trying to see past the corners that blocked the real information from the page. The characters were wonderful, and the choice in how and when they meet was unique and lent a fun level of anticipation to the book, but in the end, I hoped for more. All in all, this was an interesting read, something totally new for me, and I truly enjoyed it.
