This book has a great 1930s Los Angeles “feel” to it – both in description and in language. It’s an intriguing crime drama. The author has the habit of pushing the plot forward by hitting you over the head with a shovel (so to speak) at the beginning of each chapter. It’s a fast-paced read, but the main character is slow and deliberate in his explanation – much like many a detective in movies of the time.
