About the author

R.C. Bot writes noir crime fiction — the bleak, morally grey end of the genre, where the justice is ambiguous and nobody comes out clean.

He's the author of the Gunther & Angela series, featuring a private investigator who solves your problem, sends the invoice, and leaves the moral of the story to you.

Raised on Chandler, Christie, and a little French pulp. Still writing.

Reviews

I'm sorry, but I was not at all impressed. I don't think this story was ever edited or even spell-checked. Even with perfect punctuation, you could tell exactly where this story was going. The story idea was good, it just wasn't carried out. The characters were flat and lifeless. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.

This story was pretty predictable, but in all a decent story. It at least kept my attention throughout and I did finish it. I think the author has the right idea, just needs more finesse in the stories. I would read something from this author again and I did enjoy this book.

Good read

I enjoyed the book. It was a fast read. I thought it would be more suspenseful. It seemed light and airy.
