A review by ridgewaygirl
The Crime Writer by Gregg Hurwitz
5.0
This is a fantastic modern take on an old-fashioned LA noir. Drew is a writer of best-selling thrillers, one of which was even made into a very bad movie. He wakes up in a hospital bed with stitches in his scalp and no memory of the preceding day. He may or may not have murdered his ex-fiance.
The Crime Writer used as many worn-out plot standards as possible and manages to both wink with the reader and to make those same contrivances fresh and interesting. It helps that Hurwitz created a fantastic protagonist, charming and believable.
