Lives up to its hype!

I’ve seen the movie with Bogart, Greenstreet, and Lorre many times over the years but never read the book. Worth every second of my time. It actually starts a little slow and choppy, but it hits its stride by the third chapter an

More melodrama than mystery

After reading Scottoline’s “Look Again” and finding it unsubstantial and predictable, I decided to read her Edgar-winning book, “Final Appeal,” to see if her acclaim was justified. It isn’t. The story jumps around randomly,

Classic Archer mystery but predictable

Although the title has little to do with the actual mystery, this is a classic and decent noir mystery with good writing and characters. The plot is a bit contrived but still works, with several good twists. Afte

Good writing but inconsistent characters, plot with weak ending

I have now read Macdonald’s first and last Archer books. While the writing and tightness of The Blue Hammer improved versus the first Archer novel, the characters, plot, and ending were a
