Publisher's summary

Sam Acquillo, ex-boxer, ex-corporate executive, and accidental hero of The Last Refuge, can't seem to stay out of trouble. All he really wants to do is hammer a few nails into his ramshackle cottage, drink a great deal of vodka, and hang out with his dog, Eddie. But when a car bomb outside a trendy waterfront restaurant kills a prominent financial consultant, injuring Sam and his lawyer friend, he is drawn into the investigation. Where the police have met roadblocks, Sam makes inroads with his trademark wit, instinct, and charm. Set against the backdrop of Southampton, Long Island, Two Time is full of moody sunsets, beachfront properties, and beautiful people with an extraordinary amount of money and very dangerous secrets.

Critic reviews

"If Knopf is influenced by Dashiell Hammett and Elmore Leonard, he also shows affinity for lyrical prose." (The Independent)
"Strong plotting, solid characters and hard-boiled dialogue worthy of Elmore Leonard or John D. MacDonald." (Publishers Weekly)

Why?

He said he’d never be able to trust her. She’s been manipulative and seductive and untruthful right from the start. In his own words, he said she leads with her looks. He said he couldn’t talk to other women, but he could talk to her. Yet, every woman he needs likes him. Now she’s pushing him into a commitment. And he’s falling for it despite his instincts. What the heck is wrong with some people? So smart and so clueless.

Well conceived but definitely not very good in execution

Plot and characters are the product of a creative writer. My issue is the rambling asides thrown in that should be shortened or eliminated as some lack a clear line to the developing plot. Narrator definitely needs to work on who is speaking and when some conversation between characters is being interrupted while Sam is musing about something

Great Listening

Once again I was completely captivated by the story. I found the book to be as entertaining as the previous book in this series so I am making a mad dash to the next one.

Another intelligent mystery novel

This is my fourth Knopf book. I am determined to read EVERY Sam Aquillo mystery! Knopf’s writing is smart, and the narrator is perfect for
the character of his tough-guy engineer turned detective.

I like the main character and his demeanor. The story was ok, good ending. I’ll continue with this series, the narrator does a great job.

Hope you have lots of time

There were so many times I just wanted to scream, "Oh get on with it." Talk about page fillers! Perfect candidate for abridged.

If I heard about his dam car or dog one more time ..............

Many reviewers disagree ... thank god for differences.

The overall Mystery idea was great ... finally.

Reader was not good with female voices.

Strong entry in the series but,

There is some time missing in the first part. It didn't seem to matter for the story to make sense though.....

Sam is coming around to be a little more normal, sort of, for him. The setting is still the Hamptons but not the showy part. The author really make the area come alive. This story is no less complicated than the first Sam mystery but in a totally different direction. Some of the story touches on the art world and I came away from the story with a new perspective on "modern" art. As always the engineering details are fascinating.
