"The most serious, emotional, and depressing Hard Case book yet. Very, very good, but don't read it if you want hard boiled anti-heroes, femme fatales, and robberies. " — Elijah (4 out of 5 stars)
"The most serious, emotional, and depressing Hard Case book yet. Very, very good, but don't read it if you want hard boiled anti-heroes, femme fatales, and robberies. "
" Sad, but a good mix of pulp and suspense. "
" A melancholy thriller that is worth your time. "
" A little drier and melodramatic than many of the other Hard Case Crime books, it slid too far out of the crime realm and completely abandoned the knockout ending it seemed to be setting up. "
" Hard Case Crime novels are cool. This book has a machinelike efficiency to it, and is oddly old-fashioned, like something you'd in a vintage copy of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. I read this book in one sitting while curled up in front of the Yule Log. "
" The most serious, emotional, and depressing Hard Case book yet. Very, very good, but don't read it if you want hard boiled anti-heroes, femme fatales, and robberies. "
" Of all the Hard Case Crime novels that I have read this one was the worst. The stories gets bogged down in places and I just cannot find any sympathy for the main character. "
