Members Reviews:
As totally satisfying as,.....
This latest Evan Horne, Bill Moody mystery novel is as satisfying as a glass of Lagavulin, a Don Tomas Classico, or a Philly Cheesesteak.
No. Make that a Hot Sausage and peppers sandwich, with provolone.
Except it will not clog your arteries or ruin your health.
To the contrary, the atmosphere of a confortable jazz ambience of this book will probably improve it.
The aura that surrounds the entire series, and more particularly, this latest product, is like slipping on an old but familiar pair
of slippers.
The circucmstances and unraveling of the story presents you as a witness in the shadows to events and scenes, without long Dostoyvesky like descriptions.
Each story is unique in this series, but does reflects back to earlier novels; an original thread, without forcing you to have been involved from the start.
You never feel like you have to catch up.
