Rather average detective story with obvious twists and two dimensional characters. Time killer, if you have nothing better to do.

Mediocre

A classic tale in the style of the greats, Chandler and Hammett. While reading it you can almost see the black and white movie version in your mind. Better than pulp fiction but the author never sufferred the aclaim of the greats. Too bad, this is a top notch addition to the genre. Read it, listen to it, enjoy.

Noir as it should be.

I felt as if I was a part of the action. Superb storyline. Great “hero”. A real throwback to the golden days of radio

Amazing story and acting

See subject. I'm looking forward to more Black Mask stories made available by Audible.

Very good narrative performance.
