[Paul Secor · Rating 4 out of 5]

A novel that combines mystery with the NYC jazz world of the 1970's - perfect for me.
The four star rating is based on a reading of 25 years ago - not sure if that holds today. Perhaps I'll reread it and find out.

Makes me glad it is not the '70's

Abysmal. Don't waste your time. Basically this is a whodunit with a lot of sleaze and name-dropping, but I never cared about a single character. To me, this book epitomized the dark side of the 70's - 80's cocaine culture, but in a uninteresting way, if that makes sense.
I hated it so much I threw it in the fireplace once I finished.
