Sayonaraville

Jake Rossiter and Miss Jenkins #2

by Curt Colbert

Who choped off insuance agent Henry Jamison's head with a Samurai sword? While trying to figue this out, Seattle Private eye Jake Rossiter also has to deal with his recently promoted junior partner - Miss Jenkins- who is about to take on the Hashimotgo Family as clients for her first official case. As the clues and danger mount, Rossiter and Miss Jenkins take more twists and turns than a coaster at Playland.

Reviews

[Greg · Rating 3 out of 5]

The second in the Jake Rossiter & Miss Jenkins series sees Jake confronting his anti-Japanese sentiment. As in the first book, Jake's racism, and that of his colleagues, isn't thinly veiled, which makes Colbert's writing all the better. The author avoids overt moralising, allowing characters to develop with the story. Three-and-a-half stars.

The spine was too badly damaged, so I had to send it to mending before I could read it. I'll read it later.

Another local author. I enjoyed it. I felt like I was reading a newspaper from the 1950s.
Definitely recommend.

I read Sayonaraville which takes place in Seattle while in Seattle. It is a quick pace PI book.
