Elliot Chaze is such a great writer it's nearly perfect. I haven't read any of his other work but I will although it's hard to find. it's a real shame he wasn't more popular. also the narrator Malcolm hillgartner was excellent I have listened to a lot of audio books and he is really top notch. my very highly recommend this audiobook.

outstanding first-person hard-boiled Detective novel! If that's what you're into like I am drop what you're doing and pick this title up. this is the second book of a two-part series. The first one is not as good but it is pretty awesome. This book is definitely top-notch you don't want to miss it.

I checked this out cuz I saw they have made a movie out of it and I'm a big fan of detective novels and hadn't heard of this one. I now see why I haven't heard of this series. also I really didn't find the narrator engaging oh, he did a serviceable job but to me the voice just didn't match with the idea of a seasoned Detective.

this book was three times longer than it needed to be. I listened to the audiobook. Imagine being at the last 45 minutes of the book and just not carrying anymore. I've been trying for about four hours to get through the last 45 minutes I keep turning it off. there's no payoff There's no explanation for all the coincidences I'm really really disappointed in this book. performance was great though got to give him that

Grover Gardner is always awesome and I'll listen to almost anything he does. This novel was just completely boring. the protagonist if you could call him at walks around and has people tell him what the story is and apparently the story happened way before the narrative. Epic epic fail. think of the difference between a well-written sex scene versus a third person retelling of a sex scene that happened several years ago. That's basically the entire book except there's no sex so sorry to get your hopes up. It's a guy walking around and eventually meeting people who tell him what happened several years ago over and over and over again. they had a good premise but Jesus it was boring

I highly recommend anything by Ken Millar / Ross Macdonald. The Narrator is an alias for the great Grover Gardner. Story was gritty and fast paced.
